Congrats Michele, this beautiful orchid has earned you spotting of the day!

The early spider orchid is named for its velvety lip, which is said to look like a large spider. It is a rare species, and threatened across much of its range.

Nice shot! Looks like a kind of orchid that may practise insect mimicry.
