When I was a kid, we lived in a shabby trailer and for whatever reason, no matter what we did, we would always have fly infestations, mostly in the summer. Then I learned about Venus fly traps. Our fly papers worked for a day or two, then the flies would get smart and avoid the areas where the paper was. So, little Elementary school me suggested Venus fly traps when I saw they sold them at Home Depot. I guess my mom just wanted to humor me, because she was surprised when it ate the fly we caught. I love those little guys!

Mom had a venus flytrap in college. When she went camping, she asked her roommate to “please feed Fritz. There are cricket meatballs in the freezer.” She’d purchased crickets, froze them, then wrapped them in bits of ground meat. Which somehow worked better for her flytrap than just the bugs. Not sure how. Fritz died and Mom got a dog. And then she had kids

As if all that wasn't mind-blowing enough, the genus Nepenthes seems to say "hold my digestive fluid": at least one species is evolving away from carnivory; others derive much of their nutrients from the droppings of animals that they attract (the "bat Nepenthes" for instance has upper pitchers that perfectly accommodate a certain species of bat which seeks them out for daytime shelter); N. albomarginata is "preferential" to termites which it lures with secretions of cellulose; and then there are the commensals- a species of spider that lives in one nepenthes' pitchers, diving and hunting in the digestive fluids; and a mosquito that apparently lays its eggs exclusively in the same fluids, the larvae helping themselves the plant's prey, thanks to a coating that prevents them from being digested also.

I've always wondered if there were carnivorous gymnosperms earlier in the Mesozoic that predated modern carnivorous plants. Those same niches still would have existed before angiosperms evolved and many ancient gymnosperms share convergent traits with modern angiosperms. But since theses environments preserve fossils poorly its gonna take a lot of luck to find a fossil of such a plant.

I love my canivorous plants! They are so fascinating, it never gets boring. They look like they were genetically engineered by bored scientists to look cool and beautiful. The passive trap concept is so simple yet so effective. I also like the other ones, but Nepenthes and Sarracenia are my favorites, i always look for new plants for my collection. They are all hybrids, but that's ok. Better than taking native plants out of their habitat and endangering them. Still enough eyecatchers among them. Nice Episode!

A proud owner of 3 species of carnvivorous plants. The tip to keep them alive is simply to always maintain bellow their pot a plate of either De-ionized water or rain water. Do not use tap water (or mineral water)! The roots of these plants are too sensitive to the salts in the tap water. Other than that, their roots do not mind being partially submerged as they are bog plants. They do not really ever need feeding of any sort as long as the insects can sometimes get to them. They need really tiny amounts of insects to be happy.

Just as a matter of semantics, it is not considered convergent evolution in the strictest sense to many evolutionary biologists. The term they seem to use is parallel evolution, where a trait that exists in some way in both organisms is modified to do the same thing. For example multiple woody plants evolving herbaceousness though a reduction of the vascular cambium. Convergent evolution to them is when different traits evolve to do the same thing but in different ways. An example of this is eyes in arthropods and vertebrates or "wood" in monocots even though monocots lack the vascular cambium necessary for the secondary growth that generates woods. I personally think this is a dumb distinction and that parallelism is just a type of convergence, but that's just me

I sometimes think about how dinosaurs had counterparts on air, land and water. Similar to modern day animals, but a completely different set. Like how carnivory evolved 9 times on it's own in plants. Creatures repeatedly evolve similar tactics that work over and over, while still leaving room to develop new ones. Pretty cool stuff.

@@nalinh0 Yeah, most vegans oppose industrial animal farming as usually animals aren't kept in great conditions and (in the case of cows) the animal themselves are bad for the environment in the numbers we keep them in. Like, there was one vegan I knew who said that if they got chickens and kept them free-range, they would eat the eggs but only if 1) they didn't have a rooster i.e. there was zero chance the eggs would ever develop into a chick and 2) if the hens weren't actively broody over the egg, so it was unwanted by the hen. In that case they felt there was no harm being done and it would actually be more harmful to not eat the egg as it would contribute to food waste
