Nice one! Congrats.

For some of us at least spring has sprung! Congratulations Tania, your Sawfly Orchid is our Spotting of the Day: "Spotting of the Day! Spring has just begun in the Northern Hemisphere, yet a lot of Europe and North America is still shivering under a fresh blanket of snow. Further south in Greece though spring is well under way, with the first orchids blooming marking the end of winter. This beautiful Sawfly orchid (Ophrys tenthredinifera) is a terrestrial orchid native to the Mediterranean region and protected by the CITES Convention. Orchids in the genus Ophrys are referred to as "bee orchids", due to their flowers mimicking the bodies of bees and other insects".

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
