Moth tiggerplant

Stylidium scabridum

 

This photo shows some of the identifying parts of this plant. The colour, glandular hairs on the ovary and the labellum. The labellum is where the irritable trigger sits waiting for an insect to visit and when it does, the trigger flies over and hits the insect (on its side in this instance) thus placing pollen on the insect. The insect is generally a bee fly which feeds on nectar then visits another flower and is hit with pollen again and helps with pollination.
