Dear Petra,
I found your comments on Arum very interesting, because in the natural range of this genus, such carnage of pollinators are not documented. Whatever is the fly pollinator: Psychodidae, Sphaeroceridae, Ceratopogonidae, Chironomidae and even if hundreds of them can be captured.
So I wonder what kind of insects have "your" Arum captured?
May be this disfunction is due to a non-adaptation of the local insect fauna to this "exotic" species.
Sincerely yours,
Marc
