First day spring according to our schedule, but the mouth of Neto the flowering season began long ago. Today, a few meters from the mouth, there were about thirty species of orchid Ophrys bombyliflora , along with many more Ophrys sphegodes (already known for that and we shall deal in the near intervention). The name of this little wild orchids refers morphological affinity lip (the colored part of the flower) with the genus Bombylius , whose males are attracted to this particular structure, mistaking it for the female of the species, and I believe accoppiarvisi settle and contribute instead of pollination plant. .
Name: Ophrys bombyliflora Link
Flowering: March-April.
Habitat: scrubland, dry meadows on limestone and chalk, clay pasture, in the Mediterranean region.
In Calabria it is relatively common throughout the ion beam.
Condition: minor risk.
