. So, how do the orchids survive before they get this strategy working? Obviously, they don't get randomized mutations to generate these scents, since those are FAR from so simple that random plant cancers will cause you to exactly mimic an insect's scent and the proper colouration. There is clearly some kind of epigenetic method at play, where the plants have some means to select for the correct traits and chemicals. It's a pity we have lazy shamans, instead of researchers who would go and look into how it actually works.

In Buddhist mythology there is the nariphon, a tree which bears fruits in the shape of attractive women. These fruits would tempt lustful hermits and monks in the forest, who would have their way with them, fall asleep and lose their magical powers.
