One photo every day: Nepenthes (98/365)
Ok, I used the idea I got from trying out shooting through the loupe (second test shot) with our tablet, and taped the loupe fixed on my Jolla C smartphone for some macro photos.
I tried some interesting close-ups before realizing Vera's Nepenthes was a pretty interesting subject to photograph. So here's a macro close-up of one of the cup shaped leaves:
Nepenthes
Nepenthes is a flesh eating plant. Whenever a fly smells its sweet aroma, they fly into the cup and never come out again.
I'm off to the grocery now, I want to buy ingredients for those appetizing mozzarella sticks @gringalicious shared with us a while back. We are going to watch the Gremlins 2 movie and have some snacks while watching. :)
So see you later with more photos and stories! :)

Nice shot, I never would have guessed what it was.
waw nice plant we dont have that over here. You could drink right out of it :) how did things turn out with berniesanders my friend. the fight is over?
I'm not sure if I would drink out of it, but according to Wikipedia monkeys have been observed drinking rainwater from them.
Bernie has not been on Steem for a couple of days as far as I know. No idea what he is planning.
Looks like a worm :)) man i was having my launch , why did i read this post , now my appetite is lost :)
My thoughts exactly, except that I still possess a very healthy appetite. We already have an anti-fly unit in our home: our cat. She is very effective at catching flies.
wow fantastic shot, the way you blurred the background is amazing, i really appreciate your photography.
Thanks for the information and i liked the details in the photo, and maybe next time we can see the complete photo of this eating plant.
That is really wonderful to watch nicely taken :)
@gamer00 - Sir is this an insect? Wonderful photography you took there, but Sir, it's weird :( I hate insects :)

At first, i thought it's an earthworm taken from close distance, (i had no prior idea about Nepenthes) - then I started to realize im looking at a plant as I was reading through. Either way, i always enjoy your photos, always something different ☺
That thing looks weird but pretty cool. I dare you to stick your finger in it xD
LOL I doubt it would bite though. ;)
Does that mean you take my dare, haha xD
Nope. ;)
Our Nepenthes, while quite impressive is still somewhat small, I wouldn't want to break the cups trying to fit any of my fingers in them.
