Sounds like my ex girlfriend.. BA ZING! - jjgames, on 02/14/2008, -1/+10Nature does awesome stuff.
- LaRue05, on 02/14/2008, -0/+6Quite funny that I came across this, cause 5 minutes before someone wrote "FEED ME SEYMOR" on my whiteboard in my office cube.....
I work in a cube... - zeebo323, on 02/14/2008, -0/+4Omg! I can't believe they fed it alive. That's such a horrible way to die. =[
- CiXeL, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3youre feeding them prey that is too rich in nitrogen or its a bug capable of trying to bite it's way out of the trap.
make sure you feed all carnivorous plants other than nepenthes distilled or rain water. they need very clean water without all the salts contained in tap water. - CiXeL, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3just low nitrogen boggy climates
- CiXeL, on 02/14/2008, -1/+4we have some friends in boca raton who grow and sell them

One type of pitcher plant even looks like a vampire:
Nepenthes bicalcarata

Not saying I believe it. Just being honest. - Hazed2008, on 02/14/2008, -0/+3Nature tends to do that.
- Huangism, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2every time my venus fly trap traps something, the trapping "mouth" dies afterwards :(
- chrisaug18, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2Why can't they just nutrients from their roots like normal plants?
- Daz3, on 02/14/2008, -0/+2It's a Trap!!
- hawkspur, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1First of all, you should never EVER take a plant from its native environment. Almost all carnivorous plant species are classified as endangered or threatened because of overgathering of wild populations. Secondly, carnivorous plants have a wide range of habitat and are present in their myriad forms on all continents except Antarctica. The Venus Flytrap however, is one of the plants native to a small area in the Carolinas.
Thirdly, you think a meteor brought carnivorous plants to earth? Are you dumb? - chrisaug18, on 02/14/2008, -1/+2Cleverest comment i have seen in a while
- KraftDinner101, on 02/14/2008, -1/+2Seymor? HAHAHAHA
- sawurmomonline, on 02/14/2008, -1/+2We have pitcher plants all the way up in Canada; especially around vancouver island, and edson, Alberta.
- CoronaVegas, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1I want to get drunk off the nectar!
- LaRue05, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Yeah, I know. I laughed too. I still don't know who wrote it.
- TheZorch, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1The guy sure looks like plant food to me!
- Lewiji, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1The flytrap probably died as well though, as it wouldn't have had enough energy to digest a frog and would have just rotted away.
- CiXeL, on 02/15/2008, -0/+1art north of LACPS?
- ItsMyWii, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Any idea on where to buy some of these?
- hawkspur, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1The environment they grow in has extremely poor nutrient content ala peat bogs and the like.
- art42, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Inaccurate. Buried.
I grow carnivorous plants. This article is riddled with inaccuracies.
If your interested in CP's check out http://www.carnivorousplants.org/ for accurate info. - Andia83, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1I had one when I was a kid. I used to feed it little bits of ground beef. That didn't really work, but I didn't know any better. : /
- grimward, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1THE NECTAR IS A LIE
- art42, on 02/14/2008, -0/+1Most are not tropical. VFT grow in a 100 mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina. If they don't have a cold period they will die.
- crossers, on 07/14/2008, -0/+0hey now we must have nightmares! haha!

- pshoaxbuster, on 02/14/2008, -0/+0The nectar is sweet!
- pshoaxbuster, on 02/14/2008, -0/+0That is a snippet from the documentary. Later on, it shows that the frog is easily able to free itself from the trap.
- ronaldinho, on 02/14/2008, -2/+1Yeah you got flew into a trap!
- ncredblstrength, on 02/14/2008, -1/+0Awesome article but is "eating ***** that lands on you" really a "hunting strategy"? Titles can be so misleading... but I heart pictures and embedded YouTube clips!!!

Lots of carnivorous plants on ebay, but we're suppose to be boycotting feebay soon. - sawurmomonline, on 02/14/2008, -1/+0Not always tropical climates needed I guess
- bubba9999, on 02/14/2008, -2/+1You can take plants from land you own.
- yfguitarist, on 02/14/2008, -2/+1Thanks, now I'm going to have nightmares.
- zomgwaffles, on 02/14/2008, -4/+3Feed me, Seymour!
- GreyWalker, on 02/14/2008, -2/+1I have a pitcher plant that I got from outside my house. I live in NC where the carnivorous plants are found. They are native only to the southern end of NC and northern end of SC. Everywhere else they have been moved to. It is believed that they were brought from a meteor that formed Waccamaw Lake.
- LLLSecretChimp, on 02/14/2008, -4/+1Good on you.
- inactive, on 02/14/2008, -6/+2Wow, more msaleem spam.
