No. Its terrible smell merely attracts pollinators; it does not eat them.

Although both the titan arum and rafflesia are known for their large and foul-smelling flowers, they are not the same plant. The titan arum, also known as the "corpse flower," produces the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world, while the rafflesia produces the largest individual flower. Additionally, they belong to different plant families, with the titan arum belonging to the Araceae family and the rafflesia belonging to the Rafflesiaceae family.
More specifically, the scientific word for titan arum is Amorphophallus titanum.
The previous person says: titan arum, but I'll say it's Latin name is Rafflesia arnoldi, and it's Indonesian name is "bunga bangkai" Rafflesia is also known as bunga bangkai (Indonesian) or bunga pakma (Malaysian).
The Rafflesia arnoldii is considered the world's largest flower; the second largest is the Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum). It is known for its large size and distinctive odor, resembling that of rotting flesh.
The titan arum, Amorphophallus titanum, is pollinated via tiny sweat bees. This certainly doesn't seem very efficient, seeing as how the flowers only bloom once in three years and last three days. However rarely, they are occasionally pollinated nonetheless, and their seed pods look like giant versions of the lily seed pods with red berries commonly found in gardens.-Andrew D.
