Very interesting! Perhaps in rainy places, pitcher plants have a lid on their trap to keep out the rain. The species near me does not have that.
I did not know that thing about Jack in the pulpit.

Re: Hamuli
Interesting. There are other mechanisms that insects use to hook the fore- and hind wings together.

Re: Platynereis dummerilii portraits
Very cool! I wonder if the lighter spots are secondary light receptors, like insect ocelli.

Re: Hungry beetles munching on pollen (GIFs)
Very nice.
I would like to do more gif animations, but just a couple frames can balloon to an overly large file size that goes over the limit here. What is the trick?

Re: moth fly silhouette

Re: Dragonfly Portraits #2 - Cordulia shurtleffii
Indeed! An excellent series. Although highly visual predators, their various colors seem to be there for dragonfly-on-dragonfly interactions as they constantly move about and compete for territories, perching spots, and of course for mates. Some years ago, I was following a male dragonfly (I don't r...
