Big Thicket Pitcher #1
This photograph is of a carnivorous pitcher plant, Sarracenia alata, in-situ at the pitcher plant trail, located on the northeast side of the Turkey Creek Unit, Big Thicket National Preserve, Texas. These pitcher plants grow in wetland savannas which remain wet much of the year. These carnivorous plants have adapted so that insects are trapped and fall into the bottom of the pitcher. Digestive enzymes break the insect down and glands within the plant absorb the nutrients. This photograph was shot with a ring flash.
