Photo by mattiasklumofficial / The tropical Nepenthes pitcher plant is one of the most spectacular endemic species in the Raja Ampat archipelago of West Papua, Indonesia. Funky and otherworldly, species from this genus get some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming insects and other arthropods. Nepenthes, like other carnivorous plants, have adapted to places where the soil is thin or poor in nutrients.
