Hello All,

Recently I had the pleasure of showing Stewart McPherson some CP sites in the Fl. Panhandle, including the famous Tate's Hell Preserve, known for it's outstanding Sarracenia leucophylla colonies. Here's a few photos to wet your whistle... ; ) More to follow, along with a new HD video of the adventure!

Here's Peucetia viridans aka. the Green Lynx spider enjoying a large bee it captured while hiding just below the pitcher rim. Interestingly, each Sarracenia colony had it's own resident spider.

Here's a lovely mantid robbing a pitcher of it's contents through a nicely made entrance in the pitcher's side.

Some ants enjoying their nectar feast on S. flava var. atropurpurea. Note the extra wide tent-shaped lid.

Here's Stew taking a few shots of a gorgeous colony of S. rubra gulfensis that Randy Zerr was kind enough to show us. Thanks again, Randy!

Happy Growing,

Awesome photos! I always find it interesting the numbers of arthropod predators that live around sarrs whether in nature or our own collections.
 
Stunning pics!
