Damselfly in Trigger plant
Trigger plants (Stylidium sp) use insects to help with pollination. As the insect settles in on the flower it triggers off a reproductive arm as such with pollen on the end quickly snapping on the unsuspecting insect. This does no harm to the visitor but has left pollen on it's body for when it flies off to the next flower. The trigger winds back ready for the next visitor.
