H. parva external nectar glands

[Av8tor1]

Reminiscent of other Cerro Neblina species:

and just for fun... more yummy looking goo from H. sarracenioides

How could an insect resist such a tempting treat!


Thanks for looking,
Av

never pegged parva as a furry...from the more distant photos, i thought it was more glabarous... nice closeup shot of the sarr....makes me wonder why someone didnt enter into the calendar contest.

H. parva is very fuzzy, or at least this one is.... btw the external nectar glands are also on the front of the pitcher, which does seem sorta unusual. Must be more dependant on creepy crawlies then other species.

If I had one that I liked well enough, I would have submitted it... I took a few but none seemed right.

The evil laugh of a mad scientist getting someone hooked on the goodies, teasing them with a taste and then having them fiend for more. Drooling every time they are shown some new candy. Ha ha. Ha
