This is so cool.
Tell me you've never wanted a molting cicada plushie. It's got iridescent wings. LOOK AT IT.

Also got a pitcher plant backpack...with a doomed caterpillar. Sorely tempted.

Plant of the Day
Wednesday 24 January 2024
A popular insectivorous perennial hybrid, Sarracenia x stevensii (pitcher plant) has tall, slender, reddish-pink pitchers. These plants need a bright light in a frost free position with a moist but well–drained, acidic growing medium.

Flask-Shaped Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes ampullaria)
Family: Typical Pitcher Plant Family (Nepenthaceae)
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Most species of pitcher plants are carnivorous, using jug-like, fluid-filled traps that protrude from their leaves to capture small animals and digest their bodies, absorbing the nutrients released (particularly nitrogen, which is needed to produce chlorophyll and which is scarce in the soil around them due to intense competition with other plants) across the trap's inner walls. The Flask-Shaped Pitcher Plant, however, is unusual among its relatives in that it is seemingly essentially a herbivorous plant - found in damp, dense forests, it grows as a woody vine that creeps along the ground or through the lower branches of larger plants and uses its unusually short, wide pitchers to catch leaves that fall down from the trees above it, digesting them to make use of the nitrogen and other nutrients they contain. Widely distributed across much of Brunai, Indonesia, New Guinea, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore and reportedly quite common in damp, humid environments throughout their range, members of this species are dioecious (meaning that each individual plant is either "male", producing pollen-producing flowers, or "female", producing pollen-receiving flowers that develop into seeds once pollinated,) and produce dense clusters of small, petal-less flowers relatively high in their "branches", typically far from their traps to avoid accidentally trapping pollinators. Once pollination has occurred, "female" flowers produce numerous tiny, lightweight, hair-like seeds which are carried away from their "mother" on the wind.

The Botanical Bestiary is a project I had the honor of being the artist for. It's a bunch of leshy miscreants who will try to destroy you, or possibly be adopted into your party as family. It's a bit of a toss up
The Botanical Bestiary is for Pathfinder 2e and D&D 5e. It contains: 
65 leshy monsters
10 leshy heritages  You can find it on DriveThruRPG here

Caught a big prey!
This wasp (?) had been drinking the nectar of my nepenthes for days now and flying away, but it seems like it didn't escape today. >:)
Now my N. maxima has a big meal!

Hello!! Potentially a super specific question, but what's the funniest/ most strange pitcher plant that you know of? :0
Since I actually don't know much about pitchers, I texted my friend whose Thing is tropical and carnivorous plants and particularly pitchers and especially Nepenthes.
His response was first: is that tumblr??? To which I responded "yes, and you recognized it so lose/lose"
But then he sent me this absolute monstrosity of a pitcher:
Tumblr media
Why is it so fleshy? Why does it have little tentacles??

Meet Nepenthes mirabilis var. echinostoma, a variety of the common swamp pitcher plant or tropical pitcher plant that arose in Brunei and Sarawak. Nepenthes mirabilis is the most widespread species of Nepenthes and var. echinostoma is a GREAT example of the morphological plasticity present in the species across its range!
Also, these guys are totally edible which is great for me because I feel like if I don't eat them first they will find a way to eat me and I won't be able to crawl out because of their tiny little tentacles. (I love them, thank you for sending this ask!!)
