I had no idea flytraps were insect pollinated. That’s pretty funny.

So what’s the tallest grown Venus flytrap flower?

That’s an interesting example of evolution by natural selection in the case of Venus Flytraps.

Maybe we should grow some Venus Flytrap plants where the Murder Hornets live.

What about the Greek Adonis fellow who got himself trapped in his own fly while waiting for the beautiful Venus to emerge from her clamshell, a la Botticelli?

Just as long as that doesn’t include toadstools.

I’d love to see an owl’s eyes up close. Too bad they’re nocturnal.

Interesting read. https://www.saveur.com/mushroom-capital-america-chester-county-pennsylvania/

I thought the mushrooms were grown in buildings, since mushrooms abhor sunlight. Today’s comic implies that they are grown in a sunny field.

Don’t bite the bug that pollinates you.

Well owl be darned. LOL. Hey I’ve got a million of ’em. ~ Aspiring Clowns Everywhere

Take care, may lurking honeybee Bzzt “By The Time You Feel My Sting On The Back Of Your Neck I’ll Be Long Gone Laughing All The Way And No We Don’t Die After Meting Out Our Wrath On Humans” McZzzztord be with you, and gesundheit.

I had a Venus flutes (actually owned 3). All lived 5years +. Need distilled or rainwater. Tap water will kill them. You have to feed them every so often or they die. I typically used small bits of hamburger or pepperoni.And yes, they did catch their own flies. I also fed them garden pests shaken off flowers I grew and cut to bring in or give away. One caught a bee and multiple spiders.I had fun showing people how fast they were.

I am afraid that owl eye info is FALSE!

Isn’t nature awesome.

BTW, those are hornets not bees. Hornets and wasps do not pollinate plants.

Believe it or Not,Abraham Lincoln grew a beard because a little girl wrote him a letter suggesting he do so.

If the owl’s eyes are closed it’s not active at this time.

No “Free Dilbert” protestors here?

I wonder if eye color in humans has a relationship!

How was Audrey II pollenated?

Does that mean that Chester County is full of…

Any jokes today. I’ve given up looking.

When an owl’s eyes are blood-shot, that a strong indicator that he/she went on a bender!

When I was a kid, I had a Venus fly trap.
