Ophrys sphegodes
It forms stands of relatively short plants between 30 cm and 40 cm in April and May. The flowers have yellow-green sepals and a velvety brown labellum with a distinctive H marking so that the flowers much resemble an arthropod and especially a spider.
Alkaline meadows.
Found this beauty during asparagus picking in Slovenia Karst region.
