只有动物才能做一名“吃货”?恐怕猪笼草得打破植物在人们眼中安分守己的印象了,它不但吃肉,而且还具备出色的“狩猎”技巧。猪笼草这类肉食植物大都生活在雨林和沼泽中,因为土壤中含氮量过低,适应性较强的植物就自我研发了“捕虫”的本领。它们利用自身的陷阱装置捕捉原生动物、昆虫,甚至小青蛙,通过消化“猎物”来获取所缺乏的氮。蜜罐陷阱色彩绚丽的捕虫囊是猪笼草用来狩猎的工具,它的顶部部有一个防止雨水落入的“盖子”。捕虫囊的环形唇瓣能够产生蜜露,一旦有昆虫前来吸食,便会立刻失足掉入陷阱内部。 Only animals can make a “food” I’m afraid Nepenthes have to break the plant in the eyes of the people in the self-image, it not only eat meat, but also have excellent “hunting” skills. Most species of carnivorous plants such as Nepenthes live in rainforests and swamps because plants with low nitrogen content and high adaptability develop their own “catch bug” skills. They use their own traps to capture protozoa, insects, and even small frogs and get the nitrogen they lack by digesting “prey.” Honeypot Trap The colorful insect trap is a nepenthes hunting tool, with a “lid” on the top to prevent rain from falling in. The ring-shaped lip of the catcher capsule can produce honeydew, and once an insect comes in to take it, it immediately falls into the trap.
