Bumblebee on Big-Leaf Aster, Isle Royale
Bumblebee on Big-leaf aster, Aster macrophyllus, Scoville Point trail near Tobin Harbor, Isle Royale.
The big-leaf aster is very common on the island. The lavender color and the large toothed leaves distinguish it from the (white) flattop aster, which has slender, untoothed leaves.
