I heard that the flowers of the drakaea glyptodon look identical to the wasps that pollinate them? Is that what I'm looking at?

The lip of Drakaea glyptodon mimics the wingless female of the male-wasps that pollinate them. This image represents a spider that has "trapped" the wasp-looking labellum of the orchid. Did the spider get deceived as the male-wasps are? For more legible pictures, please click on "Drakaea glyptodon" in the species list.

I have been observing an orchid that I suspect is a Hammer Orchid. The leaf was the first indicator, to my irritation few photographers record the leaf in their photos. The bud is due to open in the next two weeks I think and I am looking forward to making an identification. 23/8/2004
