Nepenthes on Animal Planet

[wmgorum]

Hey All,

Don't know if anyone else caught it, but there was a Nepenthes featured on Animal Planet last night of all places. The show was talking about life in the jungle, and they showed a rather large Nepenthes from Borneo catching bugs and such. The documentary also had a feature about the crab spider and how they fish their prey out of a Nepenthes pitcher. It was quite cool...

Later,
Will

yup! if you want more plant stuff...watch my inspiration...the great Sir David attenborough explain :

I am such a great fan of his. He is like a teacher to me. ...well...teacher about nature...I am just mesmorised by his documentaries. I watch them in silence without a word....like a kid in a candy store.
