What plant is this stunner

[Allan_L (Allan)]

My wife found this today in her garden but has no idea what it is and she is a horticulturist.
She says it is on a thorny succulent.

Whatever it is, I wouldn't trust it. Looks somewhat... complicated. Probably best keep it away from children and pets until you can discern it's motives.

Apparently many o f these Starfish flower succulents have an odour emanating from the flower that is not so appealing to us but delightful to flies. Mark

Thanks Mark.
