This is an older paper and probably is already on the forum somewhere, but it didn't come up in a quick google search so I figured I'd post it (again) for posterity. This one tells us that harmalas are how flowers talk to bees.  Harrington, Natalie. "Harmala Alkaloids as Bee Signaling Chemicals." Journal of Student Research 1.1 (2012): 23-32.

I've always wondered what the function of psychedellic alkaloids was in plants.
It would be nice to figure out what role dmt & mescaline play in plants & what they do with it/ how they use it.

Thats so cool! Thanks for sharing! I've always thought psychedelics seemed like the "language" of the plants...I feel that this could be a step in the direction of some very profound understandings. "Consciousness grows in spirals." --George L. Jackson If you can just get your mind together, then come across to me. We'll hold hands and then we'll watch the sunrise from the bottom of the sea...
But first, are you experienced?

Smoking bees might be a bit harsh on the throat... sting a bit!  “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

another link between plant indoles and insects.. "I was also surprised to learn that bufotenine is one of several compounds produced in the leaves of the mandarin orange that contribute to egg-laying behavior in swallowtail butterflies, who feed on this plant’s leaves. This situation seems to fly in the face of the idea that plants might create bufotenine as an antifeedant, which is one theory as to why plants produce alkaloids in the first place. Many other animal studies related to bufotenine are covered, and the problems of extrapolating data from rat studies to humans are explained, before the authors move on to describe the known human pharmacology of bufotenine. Within a discussion of the evolution of receptor site theory, Torres and Repke caution that the same problem of synonymy encountered in botany can be found with names of receptors. They also remark that, “Although receptor-mediated events may be part of the spectrum of the action of these drugs, it is more likely that they precipitate a series of neurochemical events that might be called a neuronal cascade.”" https://www.erowid.org/l...review/review.php?p=273
