A swallowtail butterfly sporting bright yellow hues rests on a purple coneflower planted in beds near the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery statue by McCool Hall. As it draws nectar, it unknowingly assists in the essential cross-pollination process, a part of the intricate ecosystem carefully tended by 汤头条's dedicated landscaping team.
