<div dir="ltr">Please see the attached. The photos are very good. Orchid flowers mimicking the bodies of female flies, wasps and bees are well known. This may be the first paper to claim sexual mimicry of a female beetle (although I believe there are observations of beetles visiting Ophrys in the Aegean). The study was done in Okinawa. <div><br></div><div>Peter</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">任宗昕</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:renzongxin@mail.kib.ac.cn">renzongxin@mail.kib.ac.cn</a>></span><br>Date: Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 4:05 PM<br>Subject: Fw: Re: article request<br>To: Peter Bernhardt <<a href="mailto:bernhap2@slu.edu">bernhap2@slu.edu</a>><br><br><br><br><br><br>-----Original Messages-----<br>
