Default Holiday Feasting

GooooooD Plant, Goooooood Plant!

This is in a big-pitchered N. hookeriana, the first time I've seen one of my plants eat a scorpion!

Shawn ... it seems your link to the photo isn't working. I'd really like to see it.

I can see it. No problem.

Ok, I've downloaded the picture and re-attach here. See if you guys can see it...

If you guys still can't see it, I have included Shawn's picture in the page on Nepenthes on PetPitcher main page here.

I use to rear that species of scorpion as a pet when I was younger. Interesting to see them stumble on their prey, capturing them with their pincers and sting and eating them.

I still don't see any pic in your posting. I've looked already before in the sourcecode of your posting and tried the direct link to the photo which gave me a blank site. Very strange. Nevertheless I saw the foto now in David's posting. Indeed very cool!
