Got a new camera...

[Capslock]

This new camera (Panasonic DMC-FZ10) takes pretty good closeups, it turns out. This is the first closeup I've tried with this, and didn't use a tripod or anything. I like how helpless the insect seems.

Wow, nice tentacles! I would give up to half my kingdom for a camera like that!

Wonderful shot Capslock!  How can anyone NOT be fascinated by a plant that can DO that...curl down just the tentacles needed to ensnare the bug and grip it like that.

I will always be a 'dew gal.  Forget those nep pitchers that just sit there!  Give me deadly, reaching, grabbing tentacles and sparkly diamond "dew" any day!  

Beautiful!

You should have been at the LACPS meeting. I brought in the killing fields and did a small presentation. I started off by throwing 8 live flies into the tank. Needless to say, they all died....(the flies, not the LACPS members)
