Getting to conventions is sometimes rather hard for us traders, since
it is difficult to get there by canoe. Also, the exchange rate has
taken a bad turn since beaver pelts are no longer legal tender. :-)

Don't kill it! Liverwort is another kind of carnivorous plant. Usually
it grows on the surface of water. Check out the movie "Creepshow II"
for some great documentarry footage of the predatory habits of the
liverwort _Riccia homoconsumis_! :-)
