Some time ago I posted some images of insects living on orchids. Finally I got a nice addition to that series - although I still need to identify both participants in detail.
Shot taken on 2011-05-18 close to Les Mayons in the Massif des Maures, Departement Var, southern France. Canon 7D, 100mm f/2.8L IS USM, Berlebach MiniMaxi tripod, f/8, 1/15 sec, ISO 100. Slight crop and cloned out one of the flowers of the orchid which was already decaying.
I'm especially angry with myself not being able to determine the orchid but on the field in question there are at least 5 different kinds of Serapias and the one shown here might as well be a hybrid between two of those...
