as if the succubine nature of the pitcher plant wasn't already too on the nose, they gave this one fangs.
Notable also for its characterization of myrmecophyte (ant eater) but just a perfect word

Ah, excuse me. Myrmecophyte is the right word for the general mutualistic relationship. Still, they don't prey on ants, they just eat their corpses and other waste.

Mini myrmecophyte Lures Large Ectatomma Ant Ambush
In the complex world of ecological interactions, the relationship between plants and ants has long fascinated biologists. A recent study investigates how the small size of a myrmecophyte, a plant that provides shelter and resources to ants, influences predatory behaviors among larger ant species. The research, led by Dejean, Rossi, and Azémar, highlights the unique dynamics between the myrmecophyte and the aggressive Ectatomma tuberculatum workers, known for their hunting prowess.
