Death's-head Hawkmoth (genus Acherontia), they’re remarkable chemical mimics. They’re capable of producing the scent of honeybees, so when they invade a colony for honey the guard bees can’t detect them. #biology #nature #insects #photo #wildlife #ecology

🧛 Meet Hydnora africana, one of the strangest #plants on #Earth.This South African parasite lives entirely underground until it’s time to #flower. When it does, it produces a fleshy, alien-looking bloom that smells like a carcass to lure in #beetles. It then traps the #insects in a slippery chamber, releasing them only after they’ve successfully moved its pollen around. https://www.discoverwildlife.com/flowers/hydnora-africana-rotting-smell#botany #nature #science #biology #southafrica #africa #evolution #ecology #stem #learning #education #wildlife
