Bornean Chorus Frog – Life in the Pitcher

The dark, wet rainforests of Borneo provide the perfect habitat for amphibians. The problem for an amphibian fanatic and photographer like me is finding them in these huge, dense jungles. The search becomes even more difficult when the frog that you are looking for is one of the smallest frogs on the planet – The Bornean Chorus Frog (Microhyla nepenthicola), or Bornean Narrow-mouthed Frog. While this species of chorus frog is attractive, if you like that sort of thing, you might wonder why I had a particular interest in seeing it. What is special about a little brown frog? Well, this little brown frog has a secret lifestyle. If you are going to be tiny, soft and potentially a tasty meal for just about everything in the jungle then you had better have some tricks to keep your species alive. Nepenthicola’s trick is its breeding habit. Rather than risking the hazards of the big pond, nepenthicola has learned to utilize the tiny pools that form in a pitcher plant with which it shares its name – Flask-shaped Pitcher Plant (Nepenthes ampullaria)...

Rapunzel type tower situation but the tower is a giant mimic and hunts in the way a pitcher plant does. Yes, fair knight. Climb up this conveniently long hair, follow the sweet smell, pull yourself up and over the window sill and fall in to the far below.

Nepenthes ovata is an endemic pitcher plant that occurs in the high mountains around Lake Toba, North Sumatra, at 1700-2100m. I love how they bury their lower pitchers in the mosses, and the upper pitchers differ in colour (green) and shape. 卵形猪笼草

Carnivorous plants! Not quite as ferocious as you may have seen them depicted in fiction, but still very cool. There are numerous different species of carnivorous plants, and several different mechanisms for trapping and consuming prey. Many are at risk (such as the green pitcher plant depicted on the left and the Venus flytrap on the right, considered critically endangered and vulnerable by the IUCN respectively) due to threats including habitat loss, poaching, invasive species, and pollution.
