Pick the Pollinator
Sumatran corpse flower: carrion beetle
Carrion beetles as well as a variety of other carrion insects are so
attracted to this odorous plant that they will crawl or fly inside
in search of excrement or decomposing flesh. The spadix (the large
object seen here protruding from the plant) is the source of the
smell and is also covered in the plant's pollen, which the
pollinators unknowingly carry to other plants of the species as they
continue their search for food.
