Neat

I thought that was cool between interspecies relationship while I was grooming my outdoor Sarracenia. In the purp subsp. purp pitcher a neon green crab spider rests in wait of prey, while the pitcher provides a home/hideout for it and as a bonus the spider blends in!

Cool!

Just hope hope the spider doesn't slip.

Man thats really cool. the insects seem to be evolving. The insects are planning something.

Very nice photo. I have some spiders that like to make a home in my venus flytraps. The only problem is, they try to spin a web in the trap. We all know what happens then.

Just think if a fly were to go towards the pitcher and want to go in to eat think it is going to land on the spider web lol

I have a green sticker frog that I keep seeing in my neps's pitchers. He eats the bugs that would have otherwise gone to the plant, but for rent, it leaves little 'gifts' of processed bugs in the pitchers. Plus I've seen lizards gitting high off of nep nectar. Seems like a lot of organisms redily take advantage of our CPs (and vica versa).

just my 2 cents

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Well the spider has succeeded in it's plan, an unfortunate fly I think by looking at it, had been lured by the pitcher, and the spider snatched it. I think it's kind of neat the spider hangs out around the purps outside.

Think it woulda been good if the spider fell in under the fly's weight... *grin*
