Not my most technical post, but I just had to share this lovely pic I just took/made.

It's my young Nepenthes bicalcarata, a carnivorous plant from the lowland jungles of Borneo. The 'fangs' are actually nectar gands that overhang the pitcher of fluid; insects come for the nectar, fall in, drown, and are digested. This pitcher is less than 2 inches tall; adult plants can have pitchers over 10" tall.

 

I did a bit of photomanip, which I think makes it look really kickass, but nothing major; the plant really does look like that.
