Rafflesia plants do not eat insects. They attract flies with their rotten smell in order to pollinate their flowers.

They are, however, parasites. They live off a particular vine in the rain forest. Having no leaves, stems or roots, they get all their water and nutrients from their host.

What are rafflesia's preadators?

Rafflesia, known for its large and foul-smelling flowers, primarily attracts pollinators rather than having specific predators. However, its flowers can be affected by herbivores such as insects that feed on its tissues or larvae that may inhabit the flower. Additionally, scavengers might be attracted to the decaying flowers, which can impact the plant's reproductive success. Overall, the main threats to rafflesia come from habitat loss and environmental changes rather than direct predation.
