Las hábiles orquídeas

The video explains how certain orchids in Europe and Australia have evolved to mimic wasps to facilitate pollination. European orchids resemble wasps in appearance and scent, tricking male wasps into attempting to mate, thereby transferring pollen. Similarly, Australian orchids mimic female tennets, leading male wasps to carry pollen between flowers. Orchids are highlighted as highly skilled in pollination strategies.
