I didn't know where to post this, but I had to share it with everyone...

Though having nothing to do with flytraps, this newly discovered species of frog can only carry out its life cycle in the presence of Nepenthes in Borneo. You might have heard of it, but its such a striking example of symbiosis in nature... AWESOME! Here's the link...

N.ampullaria is a great plant, these frogs were discovered a few months ago but even earlier some crabs were found living inside of N.ampullaria pitchers
