carnivorous

known as monkey cups because of the cute little cups that dangle from the plant are what the monkeys drink water from in the jungle. this cute little story is very much not true because the cups are actually filled with poison that this carnivorous plant makes to capture live prey. if you are feeling adventurous, read all about the process on wikipedia. if you're not, just look at the cute little cups and think of cute monkeys.
