Sarracenia resilience to toxins
I wonder has anyone noticed insect stings damaging their pitchers. Like if wasp venom is toxic to sarracenia or have they evolved a resilience to it.
Recently a colony of these reddish brown ants have set up camp next to my bogs and any sarracenia or Venus Flytrap that catches them developed a ring or circle of dead tissue where the ant is trapped.
In my S. Areolata (this thing catches more flys than any other of my sarracenias) the photo I had left is of one of its pitchers. It caught one of those brown ants and it is in there trying its hardest to escape I think it is also stinging the plant in the process because it has a thick circle of dead tissue where the ant is struggling. The dead tissue is actually climbing up the veins of the pitcher and damaging the lid.
Some of my Venus flytraps are developing a circle of dead tissue and when they open the decomposed bodies of those brown ants are left.
