nature....its a bit brutal really!!

I was just looking at my venus flytrap on the window sill as it has started flowering and it got me thinking....surely its a bit of a paradox

I mean, it eats insects.....but it needs them to pollinate it!!

...surely its a bit risky, insect comes in, collects pollen, then lands on a trap and gets eaten before pollinating another plant


....and as for spiders, the female bites the head off and eats the male after sex!!!

 

Its all a matter of distance? ...flowers at top for pollination ...leaves lower down for eating. Sort of up there for thinking, down there for dancing in botanical terms...

 

Nature is a cruel mistress yet a good teacher
Nature knows no right or wrong she just balances

 

Is this thread about naturism?

I have the contraception (wedding) ring on, been on for 19 years so I'm safe as houses on this front. However there have been times when I wish I was a male spider
