Honey, bees and dung flies
Isn't it amazing how wonderfully beautiful nature is organized? Think of flowers and how their pollen is spread by bees. The flowers lure the bees with scents of sweetness and honey. And this is how it works, even though an equally good system seems to be when flowers would lure dung flies with scents of filth and crap!
Take for example the Rafflesia arnoldii. Fortunately flowers like these are the exception to the rule.
