#insectivores — Public Fediverse posts

The lilac-breasted roller bird, which primarily eats insects, spiders, and small vertebrates. #BirdOfTheDay #Insectivores 📷🌿🪶

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🐾🐜 A giant #anteater mother walks through the Brazilian #grasslands with her pup riding on her back for camouflage.

They use powerful claws and a tongue nearly 60cm long to catch up to 30,000 #insects every day. Ant eating is so successful that it evolved at least 12 separate times in different species.

This sarracenia grown from open pollinated seed is my favorite so far. It only stands five inches but should be beautiful next season.

Blooming #insectivores! The pitcher plants at the Rehder Garden are tall and lush. The white flowers are the blossoms of Venus Flytraps, visible near the ground but hidden by their showy compatriots.

A pumice rock planting with a large ping, an Australian pitcher plant, string of turtles, tiny tears, and moss. This is the first time I have attempted this kind of a planting. This is a few months old. I will like it a lot more when the moss has grown in. #moss #mosstodon #pinguicula #insectivores #pitcherplants #houseplants #carnivorousplants

There must be lots of insects in the air today, because somewhere between 50 and 100 Dusky Woodswallows filled the air this morning. They're so agile that I didn't manage an action shot, but at least they stop for a break from time to time.

These are not great photos, but I will keep trying. #DroseraCoccicaulis “Alba” is flowering. #sundew #drosera #insectivores #houseplants #flowers I was not prepared for how often sundew bloom. That is such a delight!

#PinguiculaRectifolia #pinguicula #PinguiculaCyclosecta #houseplants #plants #flowers I had my first bloom on a ping, and it makes me so happy! #Gemmae I also have some cute baby cyclosecta. I love these #insectivores.

The same plants. The first picture is from October. The second picture is from just the other day. I love pings so much! #houseplants #MexicanPinguicula #insectivores #carnivorousplants #plants

Velvety Gynura Aurantiaca before I pinched off the blooms. The sparkly one is a Pinguicula Cyclosecta, and it actually digests bugs. I noticed that there was a tiny baby plant just forming at the base. #houseplants #carnivorousplants #insectivores

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.
