, 1/800 f/2.8, ISO 200, tripod. Reggio Calabria, Italy. Specie: Ophrys speculum

Ophrys speculum, nota come orchidea specchio, era stata osservata per l’ultima volta nel 1858 nella provincia di Reggio; ho riscoperto la specie nella mia zona nel 2024, dopo più di 160 anni. Questo piccolo gioiello del Mediterraneo inganna i maschi di vespe scolidi attraverso una combinazione di mimetismo visivo e chimico. Il suo “specchio” blu iridescente sul labello riflette la luce ed è uno dei tratti più distintivi della specie. Focus stacking di 40 scatti, aprile 2025

Excellent and rare image, and really splendid the whole series, straddling art and scientific documentation.
The captions are also interesting.
Congratulations indeed.
