Cut open flower with fly inside

The snake creeper, #Ceropegia stapeliiformis (Apocynaceae, in the #milkweed subfamily Asclepiadoideae) from South Africa. A prostrate #succulent creeper, nearly leafless. These #flowers temporarily trap insects for #pollination, here in NY usually flies

#Ceropegia (String of Hearts) repot.
