Default Re: My N. Mirabilis var. echinostoma has a salty peristome!

I'm not sure how nepenthes will be able to catch Butterflies, as I imagine the wings will be too bit to fit in most mouths/opening, unless it's a small species of butterfly. Maybe some other kind of insect that has the need for salt like butterflies? Another way is to inspect and do a study on what insects are found in pitchers in the wild.

TTFN
