Dutchman's Pipe (aristolochia macrophylla)- A climbing vine that can reach heights of up to 60', it is a fast grower and can quickly cover a wall or trellis.

The odd flowers of Dutchman's Pipe vines develop a peculiar scent to attract and then trap small flies or midges when it closes. The flower than stops producing the scent that attracted the flies and starts releasing pollen on its prisoners. The flower then reopens and releases the flies to carry the pollen to another flower, thus completing its reproductive cycle.

tl;dr- PLANTS CAN RAEP INSECTS.

Extra: Imagine if it was much bigger and smelled like freshly baked bread.
