SFist Photo: Carnivores at the Conservatory of Flowers
This black ant is on her way to becoming dinner for the plant she's walking on, if she crawls or falls into the deadly pool below her. Pitcher plants and Cytherean flytraps are among the carnivorous flora displayed at Chomp!, the latest special exhibit at the Conservatory in San Francisco. It’s only $5 to visit, so get on out there. More shots after the jump.
Mmmmm, mucilage. Sweet and sticky, from the tentacle of a sundew.
A spider waits for a victim inside of the pitcher part of the leaf of a pitcher plant.
Chomp, squish, slurp, splash.
Come join the crowd!
