My question is why havent CPs developed any form of bioluminescense, this
seems to me that it would be a great evolutionary advantage in the fact that
you could attract and capture great numbers of nocturnal insects. Is there
any possibility that an undiscovered nepenthes species could be lurking out
there with this ability and as yet undiscovered? Are there any plants PERIOD
which exhibit bioluminescense or is it far beyond their chemistry's
capability? If so, then why have mushrooms developed bioluminescense such as
the jack-o-lantern mushroom. Damn cant spell worth jack tonite.
