A collection of bee orchids I’ve encountered. Bee orchids mimic the look and smell of female insects to trick male insects into trying to mate with them: thrusting against the flowers, the male insects pick up and deliver pollen without reward (a process known as pseudocopulation).

Make no mistake about it, the goal of attacking DEI is to ensure that those who have power keep it and those that don't keep quiet. If you've been lifted up through DEI initiatives, speak out so people can see the real impact of these efforts, and show what will be lost if we despair and give in.
