Info Loxura atymnus, Yamfly, is a species of Lycaenidae found in Asia. There are several types of nectaries in the orchids, including extrafloral types that secrete nectar on the outside of the buds or inflorescence while the flower is developing. In contrast to floral nectaries, nectar produced outside the flower generally have a defensive function. The nectar attracts predatory insects which will eat both the nectar and any plant-eating insects around, thus functioning as 'bodyguards'. Foraging predatory insects show a preference for plants with extrafloral nectaries, particularly some species of ants and wasps, which have been observed to directly defend the plants. Loxura atymnus is famous for consuming nectar secreted from the extrafloral nectaries stimulated by the ants. Here they are on a Philippine orchid bud along with some Yellow crazy ants.

- Support But please remove the dust spot (see note). --A.Savin 12:31, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. I requested one of my friends here to help as no processing tool available in the old computer now I'm using. Jee 13:47, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- What happend to your computer? --Cart (talk) 14:08, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Jee: OK, I saw it now already -- I think it would be then unfair to demand you to fix it -- no problem, I'll fix it for you (it's quite easy), but as we have the occasion, maybe you send me your raw file -- I would also try to fix the noise better. If interested, mail me? --A.Savin 20:57, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- A.Savin and Jee I've uploaded a version of the JPG without the dust spot. Then afterwards a version processed from RAW that tries to be as similar to the original as I can get it, and it has less JPG noise/artefacts. -- Colin (talk) 22:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's definitely better. --A.Savin 22:31, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
