This study challenges long-held views on Arisaema pollination. Previously, these plants were thought to exclusively trap and kill their pollinators. However, the discovery that S. yokoyamai escapes and uses A. urashima as a nursery reveals a more complex relationship. This finding bridges the gap between deceptive and mutualistic pollination strategies. It also highlights the importance of examining pollinators' full life cycles in flowers.
