More about the book
The intricate relationship between Ophrys orchids and their pollinators showcases a fascinating case of specialized pollination. Each orchid species mimics the appearance and chemical signals of female solitary bees, enticing male insects through sexual deception. During their attempts to mate with the flowers, males inadvertently collect and transfer pollen, facilitating cross-pollination. This unique reproductive strategy has contributed to the remarkable diversity of over 350 Ophrys species, predominantly found in the Mediterranean region.
