After an hour of photo and video session of N.gracilis under hot sun. We deided to rest under shade. One of my friend saw a deep slope said that, may there are ampullaria in there. So, i walked towards them and check... Saw the ampullaria leaves! The leaves of ampullaria.  Green ampullaria  Wingly and humidity less than 70% at daytime.  Love this bunch!   Isn't it a lot?  It is everywhere..Ops...there are some under my foot.  Hot lip?  |

Cool, must be near the Perak border. ;D
Thanks for sharing.
Btw, the hot lip pitcher i suspect if you grow at home will not produce the consistent show of hot lips. You can see other pitchers in the picture does not have the characteristic of hot lip.

dom, these are nice healthy amps. Thanks for the eye candy. Love the picture where the whole floor is covered with pitchers. That's a lot!
alienfx,
Next time you are out in the wild, try to look for neps in areas that are most similar to their habitat like the following conditions:
- open sunny site with low growing bushes such as ferns
- humid air
- swampy areas or areas with wet media
Sometimes you also need to stare at a bush for a while before you realize that you have been staring at a nep growing there but didn't notice at the beginning. They camouflage themselves quite well. Amps are usually hidden in bushes with only the growing points exposed. and their growing points do not have pitchers. So if you are not familier with an amp leaves, you would not know they are there.
