I know I already posted this species before (although the earlier one had a pinkish color), but I wanted to share this remarkable example of mimetism.

How is your world cup experience going?

Lauren, I remembered the name of the plant, it is "Jaborandi", Family Rutaceae, Genus Pilocarpus. It is a real magnet for many species of insects and arachnids.

Truly remarkable! It really does look like a bud. So clever.
