Tropical Pitcher Plant Under The Sky Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Three beautiful green Tropical Pitcher Plant, Nepenthes species, under the cloudy sky. A `lid` curves over the cup`s rim, which is often grooved or toothed, and extra-slippery. Plop! An unwary insect slides inside and soon finds itself drowning in a slick-walled vat of sticky, acidic liquid. Bacteria in a tropical pitcher plant`s cups play a role in digestion, just as the bacteria in our gut help us digest our food. You could think of a pitcher plant`s cup as its stomach!
