Episode notes

There's a lot of variety on ter arms, something like bilystes or ordula. There is even one with a shrew next to it that shrews got o go to take a dump andthere goes the new star bucks and shepard. I also want to ask you about nature's toilets, because nato naturalists, derick wallick, derick allen, megan tripne, said they were apparently shrew potties.

Flesh hungry plants. The world’s fastest hunters. Botany with brains? Seymour, it’s time to feed because we’re doing meat-eating plants with conservation ecologist and carnivorous phytobiologist, Hali’a Eastburn. Can a Venus Fly Trap digest human flesh? Do frogs think of pitcher plants as home or hell? How fast is a bladderwort? Are scientists anesthetizing plants? Why exactly DID they name a fly trap after the goddess of love? Also: homicidal plant tattoos, nature’s grossest vending machines, and what plants are most goth with a pair of real #bogbitches.
