Description: (a) Bee orchids (Ophrys apifera) mimic the shape of a female bee. Male bees copulate with the flowers, transferring pollen but getting no nectar reward. (b) Hooked seeds of burdock (Arctium minus) have lodged in the fur of a white-footed mouse (Peromyscus leucopus). The plant benefits from the relationship by the dispersal of its seeds, and the animal is not affected.
