Mimicry

Omg I've came across a uncommon orchid species. I found a place with a bunch of them near by. They take 3 years to root and only bloom once in their lifetimes. And they pollinate using insect mimicry. So there's a part of the plant that looks like an insect. I've already noticed one is starting to die off. So I have to photograph them now! But my phone is at 0% and I'm waiting for it to charge aaa. Will update with a photo soon! [Edit: Posted the images!]
