The Pitcher Plant: Fools Beware
I managed to take a photograph of a fly tempted by the colours, smells and taste of the Pitcher’s trap. Once it crawled inside, it would not emerge, becoming instead a mixture of amino acids, ammonium and urea from which the plants derives its desired minerals.
Humans might be more intelligent than flies, but we are scarcely any wiser. How many are lured by the deadly attractions of pornography, narcotics or pride?
For the lips of an immoral woman are as sweet as honey,
and her mouth is smoother than oil.
But in the end she is as bitter as poison,
as dangerous as a double-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death;
her steps lead straight to the grave.
For she cares nothing about the path to life.
She staggers down a crooked trail and doesn’t realize it.
Proverbs 5
