Rodrigo Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Beautiful plants, nature really never stops surprising us with specimens of carnivorous flora to produce flowers and vivid colors. Best regards, Rodrigo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Allan Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Really great, thanks for sharing them. I was also wondering about the substrate. Is there more organic matter beneath the surface, or is it sandy for several feet down? Also, were Setocoris present? Cheers, Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapperhead51 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Greg I didn't get to dig down at this site to see what was in and under the sandy surface, from what Allen Lowrie said who was with us , its just all very deepish sand area ,so sorry cant answer your question properly . the ones i saw were mainly pygmaea in this area , we found thousands of pygmy's on the trip and Allen found ,he found few new specie as well on that trip . was not so interested in them at that time so dint take many photos of the pygmy's unfortunately . this is what was there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
