Darwin Day 2024Feb12

In honor of Darwin’s Birthday here’s a picture of a few damselflies caught by roundleaf sundew in a Sierra Nevada wetland. Darwin studied roundleaf sundew’s carnivorous adaptations to life in harsh environments and published his findings in “Insectivorous Plants” in 1875. https://archive.org/details/insectivorousplant00darw
