Do you agree that plant on the pic above looks pretty innocent? Yeah .. That was my first impression of it, too.
Those tiny water drops like made me think they're dew had I not known what they really are.
Do you like it? Me, too.
How about these?
You probably do, don't you?
if I tell you those water drop like feature of that plant above could actually pull some ants' or a few of any spider's legs that dropped on it, would you still like it?
You probably still do - like them, don't you?
These below, they could snack on flies, mosquitoes and stinky bugs that may lose their way through those tube look alike traps, would you still like them? You probably still do, don't you?
I doubt that any aphid , winged or not would not get digested on any of these if they get lost on any of them. You still like what you're reading don't you?
You still think they're innocent looking, exotic and just beautiful, don't you?
Unfortunately, they're not just that. They'd process and trap any sort of insect that would find their way on them and as much as I like them, I still can't accept the thought of a bee, a dragonfly, a lady bug or a beetle accidentally landing on any of these monster plants.
As imperfect as we all are, nature, too .. in some of its ways, can be so innocent looking but actually so cruel, just like how some of us can also be ... some justify it as - achieving balance.
So .. do you still find them beautiful despite the fact that to the bugs they actually are - monster plants?
I still do ...
