UVF Sarracenia Carnivorous plant

[Adrian]

Here are two pitchers from the same Sarracenia carnivorous plant (Sarracenia sp.), photographed in UVF. The pitchers are different ages, i.e. a relatively young one and a mature one. They give a completely different appearance in UVF. I think the older pitcher is exuding more of the liquid sap which attracts insects to it.

The plant itself is quite large with a range of different aged pitchers so I will try some more images with more pitchers.

Technical: Nikon D850 with 105mm micro Nikkor.  NEMO torch, light painted 20 seconds at f/16.

@Adrian Bravo !

try to photograph from above, it seems to me that the mouth is richer in light.

.

Are insects attracted to young or mature flowers?
