I have posted pics of my Sarracenia on this forum for a few years now. I thought (in my morbid science teacher way) that some of you might want to see what the pitcher looks like inside. This is an old pitcher and was full of moths, a couple lady bugs, a wasp and dozens of small insects. Enjoy, or not.

This is the pitcher after I cut it off, it was showing signs of decay. The pitcher is a modified leaf and the plants use the insects as a source for nitrogen not actually as a meal.
