male wasp
Male wasp flies off and deposits the pollen
on another orchid
Hairs on the orchids are downwards

the rear, as he mates
Orchids mimicry attracts male wasps who
wants to mate
Flies and ants help to pollinate
Bogus corpse
Foul smell
Flies are attracted
Within are full of flowers
Above, male and below, female flowers,
between are spikes
Flies are carrying cargos of pollen as the
have visited other plants of the same kind
Pollen brushes off them onto the stigmas
The spike discourage them from getting
out as flies dont fly at night
At night, the male flowers shed their
pollen and the spikes of the barricade
shrivel
By morning, flies are free to go and each
takes pollen from the load of flowers
