Because pet ducks are generally raised on open ponds or lakes, they are subject to predation. Predators that can damage your duck flock include: turtles, owl, hawks, raccoons, skunks, opossums, cats, and dogs. If possible, your ducks should be maintained in an enclosure that prevents predator access.
The word 'orchid' is derived from the Greek word orchis which means testicles, and the name originates from the shape of the root tubers of the plant. It is due to this reason that orchids have been associated with sexuality in many cultures.
Basically, the orchids emit chemicals that smell, to a male insect, just like the sex pheromones emitted by the female of his species. In an interesting twist last year, researchers found that a bee-pollinated orchid produced chemicals that are similar but not identical to a female bee's scent.or the orchid, the relationship with pollinators is all about sex; but for the pollinators, sometimes it's about food. A study that comes out in Current Biology later this month shows that a Chinese orchid mimics the scent of a honeybee's distress signalâa scent that attracts honeybee-eating hornets.
