Nepenthes

Nepenthes are amazing plants that eat insects! They have pitcher-shaped traps filled with liquid that bugs fall into. These plants grow in tropical rainforests and have colorful, hanging pitchers.

おもしろい事実

Certain Nepenthes species grow as climbing vines, reaching high into the rainforest canopy!

One species, Nepenthes attenboroughii, was only discovered in 2009 on a remote Philippine mountain.

Some giant Nepenthes pitchers are big enough to catch small frogs or even mice!

The plant's vibrant colors and sweet nectar act like a delicious, but dangerous, beacon for hungry bugs.
