Meanings
-
An orchid of species Ophrys sphegodes, found in Europe and the Middle East.
While warmer springs cause the early spider orchid to flower earlier in May, climate warming is also causing female bees to emerge from hibernation even earlier – confounding the orchid’s attempts to dupe the male bees.
