Sexy orchids do more than embarrass wasps?| Oddly Enough| Reuters: May 9, 1:43pm 1 review nature, orchids, wasps, sexual-reproduction, enticement •http://www.reuters.com/article/oddlyE...; From the page: "Gaskett's team examined flowers after wasps visited them and found the hoodwinked males did eventually learn their lesson.

"With experience, male Lissopimpla excelsa wasps become less likely to copulate with and pollinate sexually deceptive Cryptostylis orchids," they wrote."

"When I figured out how to do that for myself, I just thought it was just the coolest thing, that little old me, scratching away on my piece of paper, could figure this out," he said. "From about 13 or 14, I knew that this is what I wanted to do.""

McCartney says every house her group rebuilds has an impact on the community as a whole.

"Once you get one family back, other families are willing to come back as well," she says. "There's a very nice ripple effect."

"We're here until we work ourselves out of a job," she says."
