    Neither does grass that is why cut grass smells like that. It is a chemical compound to notify birds and other insect eating animals that there is free dinner.

      I love how someone downvoted you for this comment, not understanding reality that it’s been scientifically proven that it’s a distress call.

          Consciousness doesn’t mean it doesn’t have defencive measures.

          Carnivorous plants don’t have consciousness, but they still know when and how to eat bugs that land on them.
