All flower types simultaneously produce heat and floral odours (dominated by methyl butyrate) throughout a 4-5-h nocturnal period. The flowers are pollinated only by female, pollen-eating Megommata sp. (Cecidomyiidae). Pollen is the only reward, and female flowers use the same attractants as male flowers but offer no food (pollination by deceit). Open pollinated flowers in nature varied in fruit set from 8 to 92%. Megommata (subfamily Cecidomyiinae, supertribe Cecidomyiidi), consists of six described species, which feed on Coccoidea (scale insects) and are distributed worldwide1 aYuan, Liang-Chen1 aLuo, Yi-Bo1 aThien, Leonard, B.1 aFan, Jian-Hua1 aXu, Huan-Li1 aYukawa, Junichi1 aChen, Zhi-Duan  uhttp://www.online-keys.net/sciaroidea/add01/Yuan_et_al_2008_cecid_pollination.pdf
