I did not read the article. Nobody does anyway, right? So I figure I'd mention that Nepenthes is a pretty famous genus of carnivorous plant, they are the tropical vining pitcher plants. The more you know. Unless you didn't read this and weren't already aware.

Another fun fact: Nepenthes have small but stiff hair like structures on the inside of their pitchers that are pointed downward so it's easy for an insect to slide down, but it's very difficult for them to climb back up.

Good luck getting any of them to actually crawl it though. Most models are trained on datasets like reddit comments, not by crawling sites like search indexers.
