Flying duck orchid..

Amazing, right? Well, it gets better. The orchid’s mimicry of a female sawfly is so convincing that the male actually attempts to copulate with the flower in a process called pseudocopulation. Unfortunately for the deluded male, the orchid is giving all tricks and no treats. As the male insect lands on the labellum, his vigorous, thrusting, copulatory exertions end up jostling the orchid’s pollinia (sacs of pollen). The pollinia come loose and get stuck to his back. He continues to “copulate” with the flower to the point of ejaculation. Eventually, he flies away, visits other orchids, unwittingly pollinates them, and thus helps the orchids reproduce.
