Marilyn caught a glint of water and suddenly we saw pitcher plants everywhere. There are five insect traps in this image. The frost reddened Sphagnum moss has grown up around these plants until onlu their open traps show. See first comment box for more images.

Sarracenia purpurea is "usually found in bogs, is carnivorous, feeding on insects that are trapped in its bulbous pitcher like leaves. Although this carnivorous plant is a common inhabitant of acidic bogs, it also is found in fens. The highly modified leaves are covered with downwardpointing hairs on the inside which keep insects from escaping. Insects that enter the leaf eventually drown, providing the pitcher plants with important nutrients." Michigan DNR article
