"Thoughts, Reflections, and Upper Nepenthes ampullaria Pitcher" by David
Wong. A photo of an N. ampullaria 'upper pitcher' is included (a tiny
pitcher only about a inch long). Also gives an account of the break-in

stated the culprit was caught on video tape from a neighbor's security
camera but David hasn't pressed charges. I think the culprit ought to be
punished severely.
