That is really a fantastic shot of your pitchers.

I just got one on Friday. I'm waiting for it to eat all the mosquitoes. Certainly with water in the pitchers, the mosquitoes will come, lay their eggs and feed the plant. With the exception of my greyhound, this is the only carnivore I have.

Good luck Molly, my pitcher plants never seem to attract mosquitoes, mainly beetles. Pitchers I have examined in the wild also seemed to hold mainly beetles and roaches.
Your plant looks healthy, must have a good appetite.

Hi duliticola!

Have you been to Mt Kinabalu? Do tell!

(Find any trilobite larva? ;)

Thanks NatureWalker, it is much bigger now too.
Yes Lophophora, I have climbed the mountain twice, the last time about 12 years ago, and spent a couple of weeks in the park. Lots of pictures of interesting plants which I'll get round to scanning and posting someday!
I saw lots of 'trilobite larvae', but no males and for me the life-cycle of these beetles (you discovered my namesake) is unfinished business. I'll post a picture for you in the photos forum!
