We found that the carnivorous Sundews were more or less carnivorous depending on microhabitat conditions. 🌍🧪 #peatland #carnivorousplant

Spot the incorrect AI 'fact': Bladderworts: turning to algae and pollen as a food source. Round-leaved Sundews: refusing to eat insects and instead suggesting vegetables like Brussels sprouts and kale. Sundews: becoming less interested in eating insects due to increased soil nitrogen levels.

More Sundew herbarium specimen preparation for future studies... Will be a shame to destroy these, but that's why I made them!

On the train home after an awesome #BES2024. So nice to catch up with so many people. Next year I might not leave preparing my talk until the night/morning before... But I did also say that last year 😂
