A carnivorous ‘bone collector’ caterpillar dresses in the remains of its prey
A new carnivorous caterpillar that wears the remains of its prey has been dubbed the “bone collector.”
The odd insect is only found on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It creeps along spiderwebs, feeding on trapped insects and decorating its silk case with their body parts.
A new carnivorous caterpillar that wears the remains of its prey has been dubbed the bone collector. The odd insect is only found on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It creeps along spiderwebs, feeding on trapped insects and decorating its silk case with body parts. The caterpillar's origins go back at least 6 million years — more ancient than the Hawaiian islands themselves. A host of caterpillars native to Hawaii use silk glands to spin protective cases, but the bone collector is the first to use ant heads and fly wings. The new research was published Thursday in the journal Science.
Pitcher Plant - was walking in the woods with my husband when we came upon this wonderful looking plant. I didn't know what it was until someone told me. It's carniverous too. Nature is so amazing... 😀

Pitcher Poop Plant
Some species of carnivorous pitcher plant, Nepenthes, have switched from capturing and digesting insects to absorbing animal poop for their daily dose of nutrients – and it's a switch that's proving very beneficial.
#Sarracenia 'Judith Hindle' ((S. purpurea x S. flava) x S. leucophylla), pitcher-plant, bred 1985 by Alan Hindle in the UK and named after Mrs. Hindle, I think after Alan passed away, by Paul D'Amato, who registered it in the US in 1998

Hidden in that factlet is a story about one person's lifework being preserved and carried forward by another.
