  1. A species of orchid, Ophrys sphegodes, found in Europe and the Middle East.
    • 2018 April 5, Patrick Barkham, The Guardian[1]:
      While warmer springs cause the early spider orchid to flower earlier in May, climate warming is also causing female bees to emerge from hibernation even earlier – confounding the orchid’s attempts to dupe the male bees.
