Daucus carota
Some of the umbels of wild carrot, these disc flowers centrally form false flowers that are supposed to attract insects.
Here is a collage showing how differently these false flowers can vary in color and shape (the shades of the structures range from light pink to dark purple, almost black).
Also called false insects.
The real insect most likely shows a death's-head hoverfly, which in turn imitates a wasp or bee in appearance.Daucus carota

Manche der Dolden von wilder Moehre,diese Scheibenblüten bilden zentral Scheinblüten aus,die Insekten anlocken sollen..
Hier eine collage die zeigt wie unterschiedlich in Farbe und Form diese Scheinblüten ausfallen können ( Farbtöne der Gebilde gehen von hellrosa bis hin zu dunkelpurpurn,fast schwarz).
Auch Scheininsekt genannte Gebilde.
Das echte Insekt zeigt höchstwahrscheinlich eine Totenkopf -Schwebfliege,die ihrerseits eine Wespe oder Biene imitiert im Erscheinungsbild..
