Dead Horse Arum
The Dead Horse Arum smells like rotting meat and, thus, attracts
female flies eager to lay their eggs. Researchers from the Swedish
University of Agricultural Sciences and Italy's University of Cagliari
discovered that the chemicals emitted by the flower - three types of
oligosulphides - are identical to those given out by disintegrating
protein in decaying flesh.
The flower is found on islands off the coasts of Sardinia, Corsica and
Spain's Balearic islands in the western Mediterranean. It traps dozens
of blowflies at a time in a chamber for a few hours. Then - when they
have immersed themselves in its pollen - it lets them fly away and
pollinate other specimen. The inside of the chamber is 15 degrees
warmer than the outside - another fly luring feature. The flower is
the color of decomposing flesh and has is covered with hair-like pelt,
the better to simulate a dead animal.
