@RandomFrequentFlierDent: yes that's right. The December print issue of National Geographic says the images were made with a scanning electron microscope. "The resulting 3-D images, originally black-and-white, were enhanced with color." Photos by Martin Oeggerli, a Swiss molecular biologist.
omgggg. meat-eating plants. But then, Palawan (the place where they found those plants) is home to a lot of unique flora and fauna, so I'm not really surprised they found meat-eating plants there. -_-
Do any of you think there'll come a time when, after the plants had evolved and ruled the world, they'll also have vegetarians and carnivores, with the carnivorous plants having organizations equivalent to PETA? lulz
Interestingly, the local name for pitcher plants is translated to "monkey pots", as people imagined that monkeys could drink out of them. I guess this sort of gives it a different meaning.
