Listen "332 - Common Butterwort Eats Bugs"
Episode Synopsis
I met a new friend this spring, and I've been heading up north to visit them every chance I get. We didn't meet online exactly, but I did use an app to figure out their location. You see, I read about them over the winter, and just had to find out more about their life! They are a little odd – they supplement their diet with insects and make an unusual kind of yogurt – and they may not be hanging out this far south for very much longer. Being a botany nerd, I call this new friend of mine Pinguicula vulgaris, a plant also known as Common Butterwort.
