The bee orchid

A species of orchid from Israel that looks and smells like a female bee tricks male long-horned bees into pollinating them.

Update: Michael Pollan recently discussed orchids in a piece for National Geographic.

Update: There was a scene in Adaptation about the bee orchid. (thx, charley)
