Left: Downward‐pointed microstructures covering the inner‐wall of spathe blade of Pinellia pedatisecta prevent flower visitors from climbing the pitfall trap inflorescence. Location: Experimental field of Ibaraki University, Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture. Photographer: Kohei Yanagisawa. Right: Pitfall trap inflorescence of Pinellia pedatisecta completely opens the cylindrical spathe tube to release the imprisoned flower visitors at the later flowering phase.
