Four #Stereoscopic, parallel views of a field of #carnivorous pitcher plants, Darlingtonia State Natural Site, near Florence, #Oregon. This is the only Oregon state park site dedicated to protecting a single plant species, and the fact that the species is carnivorous makes it even more unusual.

Shot "Cha-Cha" style on my Android phone, then stitched together with the 3dSteroid app.

It recedes away from the left side of the image to a bit past the middle. Some pitcher plants are visible behind it.

#Carnivorous plants: White variety of Cape Sundew (Drosera capensis) shows you don't need anthocyanin to catch bugs.

Macro photograph: two green plant tendrils are in the foreground, from lower left to upper right of shot.

The right-hand one bears many clear hairs with a single clear globule on the end of each.

A housefly is stuck upside-down on these globules,

Legobot sits down with a small #sundew #carnivorous plant.

(Drosera spatulata)

Close-up photograph of a grey Lego minifig robot, seated on a dark bed of peat and leaves. To the right of the robot is a sundew plant (approximately 1cm in diameter) with spoon-shaped light-green leaves bearing vivid red bristles, each with a tiny tear-shaped glob of sticky trap fluid.

Unearthing how a #carnivorous fungus traps and digests worms
phys.org/news/2023-11-unearthi

Key processes required for the different stages of #fungal #carnivory by a nematode-trapping fungus journals.plos.org/plosbiology/

"#Arthrobotrys oligospora usually derives its #nutrients from decaying organic matter, but starvation and the presence of nearby #worms can prompt it to form traps to capture and consume worms. A. oligospora is just one of many species of #fungi that can trap and eat very small #animals."

This little killer in my kitchen has been doing a great job of keeping the gnat population in check, and I think it's had a baby. #carnivorous #flower #pinguicula #indoorGarden
