What eats the brown bee orchid?

The brown bee orchid (Ophrys fusca) primarily relies on pollination by certain species of bees, particularly male bees of the genus Andrena. These bees are attracted to the flower due to its mimicry of female bees, leading them to attempt mating. While the orchid is not consumed in the traditional sense, its reproductive success hinges on these bees, which are essential for its pollination. Other insects may occasionally interact with the flower, but they do not play a significant role in its life cycle.
