Read that some orchids trick wasps into thinking they're a mate to get pollinated

I was looking at a plant science blog from the University of Florida and they said a specific type, the hammer orchid, actually mimics a female wasp so well the male tries to mate with it. The flower even has the right shape and smell. It's a wild way to get your pollen moved around. Has anyone else seen a plant use a trick that hardcore?
