Members of the Hoya genus (also known as waxflowers) are commonly epiphytic on trees in tropical regions in mid to southwestern Asia. They are often pollinated by moths due to some variations lacking color and possessing a strong sweet fragrance. Hoya may also be pollinated by ants or flies; multiple pollinators interact with this genus due to the substantial quantity of nectar each flower tends to produce.
malformalady:

Surface tension phenomenon is a contractive tendency of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force. It is revealed, for example, in the floating of some objects on the surface of water, even though they are denser than water, and in the ability of some insects (e.g. water striders) to run on the water surface. This property is caused by cohesion of similar molecules, and is responsible for many of the behaviors of liquids. Photo credit:© Ben Humphrey
