How are orchids pollinated in nature?

Orchids are frequently pollinated by insects, which believe they are visiting the female of there own species, because many orchids have developed mimicry so that they resemble certain hornets or wasps or flies or butterflies which tend to pollinate them.

Pollination in nature as in a greenhouse, in an indoor environment is always a deliberate process.

Pollination is very deliberately done, it is never spread by the wind.
