That's a bee, love.
You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Looks like thistle to me.
Looks like a photograph to me.
Here’s what astica.ai said:
The image captures a beautiful moment in nature with a close-up of a bee delicately perched on a vivid purple flower. The flower is identified as a variety of thistle, possibly an artichoke thistle or a European marsh thistle, with its distinctive spear-like shape. The thistle stands out against a soft yellow background that adds a warm touch to the scene. The bee, a vital pollinator, is seen foraging on the flower, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship between flora and fauna. The overall image, set outdoors, offers a vibrant, colorful display of the natural world. It's a striking depiction of the intricacy and beauty of our ecosystem.
I like this.
Same - never used it before, it was high up on my Google search and I was pleasantly surprised. Not sure how good it is but the photo looks like the thistles my SO likes in the garden
