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.
