Is It Orchid or Insect?
Published 2 years, 7 months ago
Description
There are at least four known types of orchids that effectively pretend to be female insects. They are so good at this ruse that they attract the attentions of male pollinators. That there are four different varieties that do this makes it clear that this trickery isn't due to chance. The Creator does not want us to make the mistake of thinking that He doesn't exist.
