RE: A pitcher plant ecosystem, or "I eat flies with a little help from my friends."
I actually had no idea either about the mosquito. I initially got interested in the topic when a colleague mentioned that purple pitchers are extremely low in digestive enzymes and that the microbial community is important. It just got more and more interesting the more I read.
It seemed like a very interesting rabbit hole to go into!
Just so long as I don't end up getting trapped and digested. ;)
Well, it would make for interesting news to see a human being consumed by a carnivorous plant :P
Or at least a nice musical...
