i learnt about this in bio .. the orchids emit a special pheromone identical to that of the female wasp and trick the males into attempting to mate with them, while at the same time covering them in pollen.

Those don't look like wasps. They have fur.

Uh....what on Earth made you think that having fur has anything to do with being a wasp or not? All wasps have at least some hair, and some are completely fuzzy. Do you live under a rock?

Rather disappointing how something so clever and amazing could start an argument with people.
Whatever your belief, why not just enjoy this video clip?

Thanks for posting the clip!

Perhaps it would be best not to comment on 'prove' if the concept of prove that you have is different from the concept that scientists use. But yes, it seems terribly easy to not ask questions and just believe there is an almighty. An almighty the hides fossils for our entertainment has to be a decent fella', right?
