The article clearly highlights a few unusual (aka, weird) things:
1 - Unlike most other pitcher plant species, this one has low acid and relies on the droppings of the worm larvae
2 - This is the only place the larvae have been found to live (a small and [i imagine somewhat] threatened area)
3 - The main food source appear to be other insects born inside the plant that get caught in the web leaving. Not other insects/animals that fall inside

The difference being that these are actually super helpful links. I'd be happy with an outline link being a permanent fixture. Get all the text and images, without all the garbage.

I see what you mean but I'm just a reader. No affiliation to outline.com or anything else. My understanding is it's ok to post paywall workaround links and I wish more people would do it.

I think what you do is super helpful and I appreciate it. Maybe adding context or just saying it's a paywall workaround would prevent people from getting the wrong idea.
