Pseudocopulation

Pseudocopulation is a method of attracting pollinators via sexual stimulation. Some flowers mimic a potential mate visually. Some orchids secrete smells, from glands called osmophores located in the sepals, petals, or labellum, that are indistinguishable from the insect's natural pheromones, even in some cases exaggerating them to suggest better mating results within the pollinator's species, assuring its own survival through assisting the welfare of the pollinating insect.
