The scent will be extracted from the parachute flower and will be inserted into my humane bug trap.  The trap will look like the flower it was based off of.  Unlike the flower though food will be inserted within the trap to keep the insects from being weak when released.  The trap has a pressure system within each section of the petals.  With this when sensing movement within the trap it closes on its own.  There are also buttons to manually open and close the trap on its own.

Description

Ceropegia sandersonii is a succulent plant with twining stems that bear heart-shaped leaves. Solitary flowers are green, parachute-shaped with a funnel-shaped, up to 2 inches (5 cm) long tube. They appear in summer and fall.

Hardiness

USDA hardiness zones 10b to 11b: from 35 °F (+1.7 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C).

How to Grow and Care

A gritty compost is suitable, and clay pots help with drainage, especially for the species with white thickened roots, which are the most susceptible to rotting and for species that form large tubers. Ceropegias appreciate water and a little fertilizer during warm weather, although some watering care is required for the more delicate species. The vine-like species can suffer from prolonged drought.

Typically, many of these species grow and climb naturally among bushes, which provide shade and humidity to the base, while the vegetative growth is in the light. Where tubers occur, they are best planted on the compost's surface, and the vegetative growth allowed to twine around supports or trail down from a hanging pot. The latter mode of growth has the advantage of not using valuable bench space. Small tubers formed at joints in the thin stems of some species can be used for propagation. If the tuber rots or dries out, don't panic. As long as some of the top growth is still in reasonable condition, it may be possible to save the plant by re-rooting stems in damp gravel.

- The petals open and close to trap and release the flies. The trap works like this as well.
- The Flower has an irresistible scent within to draw insects in.  This scent is similar to when a honeybee suffers from a fatal attack. The scent will be extracted from the plant and inserted into the trap.
- Makes the flies weak by not providing nutrients to them while they are trapped. In the trap there will be nutrients added to keep the bugs from being weak when released.
- While the flies are trapped they are using this to make the flies pollinate them.
