Semar Bags: insectivorous plants
Semar bags, or in Latin called Nepenthes, are carnivorous plants that live in poor areas with nitrogen, such as in Indonesia, southern China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Madagascar, Australia, India and Sri Lanka. The habitat where semar bags live the most and often encountered is in Indonesia, precisely on the island of Borneo (Kalimantan) and the island of Sumatra.
Semar bags can grow up to 15-20 meters high, but ride on other plants. Thus, the semar bag is a plant that lives as a parasite for other plants.
Semar bag leaves have evolved into pockets that they use as a means of survival by searching for food, just like insects and other small animals.
At the end of the semar leaf pouch there is a modified vine forming a pouch.
How to bag semar using the pocket is to attract the attention of insects with the aroma of the pocket of the fragrant. Once they settle on the edges of the semar bag hole, the insect slips into the pouch. In the bag, there is a special liquid that is used to digest the insects and take the nutrients.
