The lateral sepal arms of Disperis capensis var. capensis flowers are spread, appearing like decent landing sites for visiting pollinating insects during the cold months when these plants flower.
Sadly, there won’t ever be a food reward for a pollinator that does the job for this kind of Disperis. That is, unless the bigger, predator insect grabs the smaller one as lunch. Similar to what happens at waterholes with edible mammals. And aren't we all edible! The unsuspecting insect may get eaten at the colourful flower destination where it expected to eat. Double bad luck if the plant visited offers nothing for your services, and you can’t know this before you check. Then some large oaf eats you!
The lateral sepal arms fold in over the inner floral parts when fruiting starts after pollination (Liltved and Johnson, 2012; Manning, 2007; Bean and Johns, 2005; iNaturalist).
