The phenomenon of stigma motility in _Utricularia_ has been noted as
early as 1869. But almost all work on this (as well as on stigma
motility in other genera and families) was published in German and at
the end of the last century. So I think our (i.e. in the first line
your) results would be sufficient at least for a short note in CPN.

This would be nice, of course. All too little is known about pollination in
Lentibulariaceae.

A nice shipment, indeed!
Where did you get _U.aureomaculata_ from?
You do not want to try if _U.aureomaculata_ will hybridize with
_U.livida_ (but rather the two clones of _U.livida_ with each other), do you?
Kind regards
