Ceropegia's pollination is very interesting to watch in field.
When pollinator goes inside there is no hurdles for him because of downward turned hairs in corolla. once pollinator reached at the base of corolla pollinator is trapped in corolla There is no way out. pollen's from corona stuck on his body after this sudden accident with him.
Fly starts to release herself from flower but can't go out because of hard,spiny hairs pointed (downwards) towards fly. then slowly flower starts to face the ground and hairs of inside it became softer and there is undoubtedly way out for fly to go to the next flower. Ceropegia flowers mostly pollinated by Genus of fly's called dipteran fly's which contains many species of fly's.

Unidentifed insect pollinating a Boulder Raspberry (Oreobatus deliciosus) on the Sugarloaf Trail West of Boulder, Colorado. I was thinking this was some sort of Beetle but after trying to ID it I'm not so sure.
A wild honeybee works a crepe myrtle bloom. The myrtles are a decorative tree that blossoms out bright pink by mid-summer and into fall.
They're everywhere down here in Arkansas and a colorful addition to summer's normal green.
With the problems domestic honeybees are experiencing (colony collapse disorder), it's good to see their wild cousins are still 'haulin' the pollen'...
Ceratina cucurbitina male (Hym. Apidae) pseudocopulating on the floral callus of Serapias lingua (Orchidaceae), 21.v.2010, Saint-Léons, France. This was shot in the village where the great French entomologist J-H Fabre was born! I have now completed my study on the pollination of Serapias species and will be preparing an article on phylogeny + floral scents + pollination strategies over the next few months.
Bees & butterflies rejoice! Our crews & volunteers plant water-wise pollinator plants on Dolores median @ Market.
