    It's called co-evolution. The orchids don't 'know', the ones who, by accident, best fit the shape of insects manage to spread more of their pollen. And there's always a certain distance, or a ability of insect sight, that allows it to be fooled. It doesn't have to start from perfect mimicry!

    Here some videos explaining the concept further:

    I was watching QI and they just said there were more molecules in a glass of water than grains of sand in the entire world.

    Not DNA molecules, granted, but it gives you an idea of how many
