#carnivorousplants

I made some bookmarks inspired by carnivorous plants. There's a girl who keeps these plants at home, and I felt like making her a little gift. I toned and coated the cardboard to protect it from moisture, and I painted the designs for the front side myself.

More charcoal, more weird birds. One must cram all the things one loves into one image, otherwise what is the point? Very WIP, very fun, very cathartic. One is very happy.

Winter has arrived...

Venus flytraps are only native to North and South Carolina. #FACT

Like other carnivorous plants, the pitcher plant (Nepenthes rajah) traps insects for a meal. But what sets this species apart from the more famous Venus flytrap? It also occasionally snares vertebrates, including small mammals and lizards! Its sizable pitcher, a modified leaf, can contain up to 1 liter (33.8 ounces) of fluid, which is often enough to drown small critters that happen to fall in. Powerful digestive acids are then released to help the plant break down and absorb its prey. Insects are attracted to the pitcher plant because of its scent, while small animals such as shrews or geckos may mistakenly seek a drink or shelter in the pitcher.
