Suetsugu's team discovered a remarkable twist in A. urashima pollination. Adult Sciophila yokoyamai gnats can enter the flower, deposit eggs, and then successfully escape - a feat unique among the plant's visitors. Their larvae then develop in the decaying blooms, with multiple adults later emerging. This contrasts with other gnat species, which perish in the plant's trap.
