YouTube - short video on N. rafflesiana
« Thread Started on Jun 25, 2007, 1:52pm » Hi Guys,

Here's a small segment of BBC-David Attenborough's "Planent Earth"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7wAkYrx-XM

It starred N. rafflesiana and supports by a cast of ants, beetles, mosquito larvae and the lovable crab-spider.

Enjoy.

Lausy spider and crab tho', stealing food from the picther. Poor Neps work so hard to lure, cature and kill the insect prey, only to be taken away by the lazy spider and crab just like that.

Thanks for sharing Choong.
