Actually some scientist actually DRANK the CONTENTS of the pitcher my book says.Alfred Wallace(18233-1913) said:"WE found it very palatable, though rather warm, and WE all QUENCHED our thirst from these natural jugs"O.o And another guy from NatGeo mag said:"It tasted NICE though rather warm"And he didn't like the squishy bit in the bottom.Warm?

I even tried the nectar at the peristome of the N. mirabilis, tasted like honey... sweet

Of coz I won't drink from a pitcher full of dead insects... Mainly the ones that's not open and contain fluids in it.
