do you actually believe that orchids with these random arrangements of petals, stamps and pollen tubers are targeted to animals or to reproduce faces?

Talk to them. If they have understood so much to bring about such complex processes, they should also be able to communicate.

an usb-port does not have to be, it is also enough a serial interface. However, one produces those with a knife to put the flower into the vase.

yes and for that you have welding feet. and of biology or what “mimikry” means in the planning or animal kingdom, or what purpose nature pursues with it, you also do not seem to have a clue.

In the second picture it is actually that the orchid imitates an animal, namely a female insect. As a result of fragrances as well as this appearance, male insects try to pair with the flower. They are missing a pollen package that they will get rid of in the next flower of the same kind. The trick works quite sensually for the own reproduction of insects, but for the orchids of the genus Ophrys (here: Ophrys apifera, the bee-ragwurz). It is clear that in evolution those plants were read out whose flowers were a bit more similar to the insect.

In the first picture: Can it not just be accidental that the flowers of some orchid species remind us people of faces of monkeys with a strong magnification?

This is similar to the self-filling prophecy. You want to see it and you see it even though it’s not there.
Like shadows and clouds.
Human perception is looking for familiar, known and especially for faces.

Nature is a miracle. This is the only explanation.
