The rewarding orchid Epipactis flava was studied in NW Thailand. Its flowers were visited by a wide range of insects, most of which served as pollinators. The most frequent pollen bearers were (in decreasing order): the cricket Homoeoxipha lycoides, stingless bees of the Tetragonula testaceitarsis/hirashimai complex, hoverflies of subfam. Syrphinae, the wasp Polybioides gracilis and sweat bees of subfam. Halictinae. We found no evidence of a link between the rheophytic habit of E. flava and its… Expand
