PseudocopulationPseudocopulationSome orchids offer no nectar at all, but they resemble the female of various insect species. Or at least, resemble closely enough to fool a desperate male of the species – the mimicry is chemical as well as visual. The unfortunate male has to be deceived twice and engage in two acts of pseudocopulation before pollination takes place. Common european species doing this are the bee orchids in the genus Ophrys. In fact some populations of bee orchid seem to be self-fertile in the absence of pollination.
