EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot by Heather Angel, we witness a mesmerizing dance between nature's tricksters. The Bumblebee scarab beetles (Pygopleurus humeralis) have found themselves irresistibly drawn to the vibrant Phelypaea flower (Phelypaea coccinea), but little do they know that this bloom holds a secret. The cunning Phelypaea has evolved markings on its petals that mimic the elytra wings of these very beetles. It's an ingenious ploy to attract pollinators, as if saying, "Come hither, my dear bumblebees!". And it works like magic! Nestled in Turkey's sub-alpine zone during the merry month of May, this enchanting scene unfolds against a backdrop of breathtaking beauty. These plant parasites thrive on Tanacetum and Achillaea plants nearby, showcasing nature's intricate web of interconnectedness.

The vivid red hues of the Phelypaea flower stand out against the lush greenery around them – a visual feast for both eyes and camera lenses alike. This remarkable photograph captures not just feeding and mimicking behavior; it encapsulates Mother Nature's playful side.
