Seems like nature is fighting back! With a bit of luck they will develop to eat humans. We could do with a predator. Some humans have egos just a bit too big

I would love a flytrap or pitcher plant large enough to eat a large cat! Hahaha. It would be great to see pitchers the size of bowling balls! Feed it a hamburger or a some chicken.

That daggum raccoon is back in my garbage. Let's put the pitcher plant by the garbage.

Bigger Neps have been documented to consume rodents and birds for decades. And there are many videos of Flytraps trapping frogs.
However, perhaps the researchers have it wrong, and the salamanders have adapted their life cycle to utilize the greater protection of the pitcher plant as a nursery. There is a frog that does just that.

Plus, these are Sarrs, not Neps. This is a neat discovery.
Oh I missed that part, extra neat.

Honestly (because I’m usually not honest :lol: ), I would have an easier time believing that wild tomatoes are carnivorous than Domestics. Solanum pennellii gets really sticky
