Hooker zones, Leonard - that's all.
No?
No I wasn't referring to your facial decoration or Intelligence Quotient, but the fine hairs on the inside of the hood of these fascinating plants. They're intended, presumably, to be hard to see by the prey, so they can be hard to photograph. It needs good Image Quality.
There's an excellent website around here:

and the Hooker zones are described on the next page:

Leonard, an excellent photograph! I am curious about the background. I see this is posted in Technical and Studio, but am I looking at the plant's growing environment, or something else?
Chris, I got about the hairs on the hood, but I assumed you were talking about the Intelligence Quotient of the prey! Separated by a common language indeed!

Thanks, Chris, all is clear now! Every discipline has its own language and abbreviations (I remember well when my summary of some of the evening's endeavours might start out "WDWN WF in NAD, C/O DOE" or some such.
Rik, thank you as well; you are quite correct, and I was mistaken: this was shot outdoors and shouldn't have been posted in T and S. A little time has passed since it was shot, and memory failed me. Good catch!
