Yes the insect actually carried the pollinarium on its head with some scattered pollen grains.


yes, … flickr has had several pictures of Orchid bees with complete pollinaria stuck on their backs. do they get unstuck when the bee goes to other flowers? if not does it fall off later without any help?


Yes mam, they get stuck on the stigma when the fly reaches it on same flower or another flower.

Reposting from …, as earlier posted without a subject.:
Is this Brachycorythis galeandra or B. obcordata?

Is it from Imphal? Picture date? Elevation ?


Looks like Brachycorythis galeandra (Rchb.f.) Summerh.


From?


Was it from Manipur?


Pl. consider it from Manipur as she is from there.


Looks like Brachycorythis galeandra, but can’t confirm without proper dissection.
