The fossil record of carnivorous plants is pretty much non existent. A recent discovery out of Russia changed this. Beautifully preserved in amber, we now have the first conclusive fossil evidence of a carnivorous plant 🔍😮 indefenseofplants.com/blog/2014/12/4…

A #sloth & his sloth #moths. Sloth moths (#Pyralidae) live in & gain their nutrition from skin secretions & algae growing in sloth fur. During a sloth’s weekly descent to defecate, the moths lay eggs in their dung. After development, new moths ascend the canopy to find a sloth.
