  1. Martin-Eberhardt et al. reveal a single anthocyanin pigment affects four plant-insect interactions in a carnivorous plant, finding patterns consistent with ecological interactions exerting opposing selection on plant color and thus maintaining variation.

  2. The April 5th #LosAngeles #CarnivorousPlant Society meeting will feature new #Pinguicula photographs from #Mexico. See 12 species from 5 regions of the state of #Oaxaca. Don't miss this opportunity to see images #plants in habitat and hear about exotic #botanizing.

    "the #Drosera-Acrodontium relationship is cooperative and mutualistic. Because of the complex interactions and metabolic interdependencies, the pair can be considered as a singular entity – a plant #holobiont – rather than singular organisms."

  12. Life is a team sport.

    "A new study has found a #symbiotic relationship that has evolved between #Darwin’s favourite #carnivorousplant and a specific type of fungus which lives inside it and helps it digest its prey.

    The #fungus lives in a sticky secretion at the end of tentacles on the leaves. Its enzymes work with the plant's digestive processes to help it break down the prey – small bugs and insects."

  13. CW: Furry comic, just a mild naughty joke, nothing explicit

    Standard-sized bug-eating plants aren't really a problem when you're over 5 feet tall. Amorous feline boyfriends, on the other hand...

    (Based on my new sundew, Kensuke. 😊)

  15. #invertefest

    Day 4: Asian #hornets (Vespa velutina) keep causing a lot of grief to beekeepers in my area, and they're becoming here the most loathed insect in their own right.

    The fact they are large apex predators, however, didn't deter my Venus #flytraps from trying some Asian food.

  16. I am still sorting out how to focus and light subjects with this microscope, but I am having fun! Two of these are #MexicanPinguicula that are #insectivores for the most part. One image is of the transparent windows at the top of a #CephalotusFollicularis which confuse their prey. #CarnivorousPlant #houseplant The pings are great for taking down fungus gnats.
