Wow, what a great name for this bird! The bee orchid is super interesting. It evolved to mimic the appearance and scent of a female bee species attracting the males to attempt to mate with it.

Hi. There are so many. Maybe the bee orchid (Ophrys apifera)? I did not draw it. It’s a digital collage using old botanical illustrations. It was originally done for a plant nursery.
