Bug's Eye View # 2

This is the second of a series of photos I took from a bug's eye view of Darlingtonia, a bog plant in southern and the coast range of Oregon. The clear panes at the top of the pitcher-like leaf must be very confusing to insects who are attracted to the interior space. A good strategy for a carnivorous plant. You can see the downward pointing hairs on the interior, also.
