Other | The logo was inspired by a morning serendipitous observation of a wild fruit fly orchid, Bulbophyllum cheiri in full bloom that was attracting males of the pest Oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis in a house garden. The orchid is known to produce one of the most potent male insect attractant evermethyl eugenol. As methyl eugenol attracts male B. dorsalis in nanogram quantities that are ingested, and biotransformed to male sex pheromones, it has also been shown to mediate the interaction of orchid and the fly as the pollinator. The logo depicts the male fly landing on the lip of the fruit fly orchid containing methyl eugenol. Volatiles containing methyl eugenol are shown in the picture as molecular structures in the background. A precarious balance between being a pest and pollinator supporting the fragile ecosystem. |
