The vegetative world of our planet is four hundred thousand species of living organisms. This microscopic algae, like snowflakes and giant sequoias - trees hundreds of feet high. In the struggle for their rights to life and the continuation of the genus, many photosynthesizing neighbors have acquired in places the appearance not of plants, but of animals. Sometimes such a desperate mimicry is seen as a useful quality, fixed by evolution, sometimes a pleasant surprise of nature. Most representatives of the flora, outwardly imitating fauna, are orchids. Flowers of other families are no less interesting and attractive - judge for yourself, dear readers.
