Fun fact: Apache jumping spiders (Phidippus apacheanus) are completely harmless, but evolved to mimic velvet ants from the genus Dasymutilla so predators wouldn't mess with them.

Anacamptis morio has several subspecies across its European range; this is ssp caucasica from Rhodes
The vernacular name comes from the easily overlooked “Green Wings” on the inside of the hood but its botanical name “morio” means “fool” and references the bright colours associated with a clown

Good mourning!
Here's a busy little mourning bee in Rhodes, with Green-winged Orchids on its mind.

Corizus hyoscyami on the house wall by one of the moth traps. I've had this species quite often in the garden, but never to light before. Such an exotic looking Bug. Little to report from the traps so far, I've only seen an Oak Rustic, but it's windier than last night. Maybe dropping off a bit now 🤞
