For *ursulav, who mentioned "Pollination for hire" in her story The Mandrake Girl, which conjured up this image.

Of course most pollinators are recompensed for their services with food in the form of nectar, or sometimes the pollen itself. Other times flowers mimic the body form of pollinators, and trick them into pollination by physical contact when really the pollinator was looking for sex.

Tricky, tricky plants.

Happy Earth Day!

That's awesome, I had completely forgotten about that story, but this certainly does go well with it.

I really like both the idea and the artwork.

The hymenopter anatomy is *so* accurate, and I love how you painted the leaves.

Plants look for sex too? That's a little disturbing. GREAT picture though. Wow, you really love your plants!
