orchids evolved that way to be pollinator specific, thats why they are very species rich at 30k+ species in a single family, under asparagales order.

Ha ha ha ha. You dumb bastard. It's not a schooner. It's a sailboat.

I never use my phone while making love, but that's just one fellows opinion. What else can you see from down there? Well give them a squeeze! I don't know, we're not there with you! Oh how am I supposed to know she did not like that?

What a happy little bee.

Censor this please. I am a bee and this is pornographic.

Absolutely blows my mind that nature can do this. How does this flower know the shape and look of a bee?

Evolution isn't changing into things that work. It's passing on genes that happen to work by chance.

Still a bit mind blowing though, wouldn't you agree?

The closer it gets to looking like bee, the more it survive, slowly, only bee looking flowers come to be 🐝

!macrophotography@lemmy.world would enjoy this as well!
Ophrys apifera looks even more like a bee. Also called a bee orchid.
This kind of posts should helpfully specify the species, not just “this flower”, otherwise many of us will assume it’s AI generated.
Ideally a Wikipedia link would satisfy any skepticism, but just the name is good enough for googling.
I'm not sure how I'm supposed to identify the species and all that stuff you want. I saw a flower and took a picture then did a 2x optical zoom with my Samsung. The first pic is below. And shouldn't the standard be the other way around in that AI should be labeled, and not assumed?
