$The early spider-orchid (Ophrys sphegodes) is a species of orchid native to Europe and the Middle East. It is a very varied species with many subspecies recognised. The flowers have yellow-green sepals and a velvety red-brown labellum with a distinctive silvery-blue H marking so that the flowers much resemble an arthropod and especially a spider. Similar to Ophrys fuciflora and Ophrys apifera but flowers differ in that late spider orchid and bee orchid have much smaller petals than sepals; in early spider orchid petals and sepals are a similar size. They are also distinguished by patches of colour on the labellum; late spider orchid has a yellow point at the centre of the distal end of the labellum, while bee orchid has a red patch at the proximal end of the labellum.\n\nThe early spider-orchid is a sexually-deceptive orchid, meaning that it mimics the appearance of a female insect in order to attract male insects to pollinate it. The male insects are attracted to the flower's scent and the false appearance of a female insect, and when they attempt to mate with the flower, they transfer pollen from one flower to another.\n\nThe early spider-orchid is a popular garden plant, and there are many cultivars available. It is a relatively easy plant to grow, and it does well in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The early spider-orchid is a beautiful and interesting plant, and it is a great addition to any garden.$
