Jure Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Hi! Recently I was counting animals in the pitcher of N. lowii x alata and beside cca 25 death arthropods and 2 mollusks found at least 6 small (1 mm) and one large (3,5 mm) larvae of Asian tiger mosquito alive. As far as I know, only several species live in Sarracenia as commensal fauna in their native habitat but not in Europe, some research about Nepenthes were done in India and Malaysia, where some 25 nepenthebiont species were found, but in Europe? Forget the evolution, mosquitos are present here only several years, they had no time to adapt to poison soup in pitchers, but they definitely live inside, saved from fish and other predators. Is there any known observation of fauna in Nepenthes out of their native habitat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
