Anther mimicry in an African orchid pollinated by pollen‐feeding beetles
Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 6, Page 1071-1078, October 2025.Beetles chew the fleshy yellow tips of an orchid's petals and pollinate its flowers, representing a novel case of pollen‐seeking beetles being deceived through anther mimicry. Abstract Flowers of many species have yellow markings that appear to mimic anthers or pollen and attract the attention of pollen‐seeking insects (usually female bees).

Fatal attraction: flowers lure pollinators as prey in the carnivorous Drosera hookeri (Droseraceae).
Annals of BotanyBACKGROUND AND AIMS Pollinator-prey conflict can occur in carnivorous plants when they ensnare pollinators in their trap-leaves. While spatial or cue separation often abates this conflict, this study investigates Drosera hookeri, which produces flowers ...
