Lucky Insect, Laden With Pollen, On A White Cactus Flower.
Lucky Insect, Laden With Pollen, On A White Cactus Flower.
This lucky fly of unknown (to me) species is happily gathering pollen and thereby enabling this gorgeous cactus to sexually reproduce.
This cactus' flowers live from night to mid-morning. They close up in the heat to start creating seeds...
On the evolutionary scale of success, from 1 to 10, this scores a 10!!
Note: This series is out of order. The series should show the buds starting to open before it shows the open flowers. Normal causality DOES apply!
