While spring cleaning the old Klimagro terrarium today, I discovered
that a nepenthes tendril had poked down into one of my sarracenia
purpurea traps! I decided to save the poor trap and extricated it.
Much to my surprise, the nepenthes' trap had grown to nearly full
(though color faded) maturity inside the digestive fluids of the
sarr pitcher!!! Figuring that it's probably very rare for such a
thing to happen, I quickly snapped off three shots- one with the
trap in trap, one as it's being saved from the trap, and the last
after being removed. These three pix can be downloaded at the
following:

Please let me know what you think of these photos, and if any of you
have ever seen this happen before. (Probably, but I was really
taken aback... the nep pitcher was completely "in the drink" in the
sarr pitcher!)
Cheers, Paul
