Misumenops nepenthicola, so 'the misumenops who lives in nepenthes', that's
the name of the spider living as parasite in the pitchers. It's right they're
building their web in there, and it's said they're protected against the
digestive liquid by a kind of immunity... Any comments would be appreciated,
for myself I just guess they don't fall in the liquid, and if they do, they
can quickly crawl to the top to escape the fluid...
