Inflorescence of Arisaema bockii and the fungus gnat larvae feeding on adult corpses. (A) A. bockii in the natural habitat. (B) Male inflorescence of A. bockii; the orange arrow indicates the basal exit hole through which fungus gnats escape after visiting. (C) Female inflorescence of A. bockii, which lacks an exit hole and traps fungus gnats, serving as an oviposition site. (D) Fungus gnat larvae feed on decaying adult carcasses. (Image by HUANG Wen)
