Nepenthes are relatively harmless to all but the island's insects, although the likelihood of nearby swarms is a danger to note. Resembling a upturned bell, the Nepenthes is filled with a fluid of its own production that it uses to drown its prey - a syrupy fluid that remains viable even when diluted by rain water. The name "Monkey's coffin" comes from the not-uncommon finding of meat and animal remains within the plant's belly, which I've premised is due syrupy taste of the plant's fluid attracting mesopithecus to their untimely demise.

Their syrup and colorful visage continuously attracts insects, making them a useful emplacement for a swamp or woodland base that desires a reprieve from insect swarms. While not a particularly large container, nepenthes holds a supply of water that, when mixed with its own syrup, makes for a nutritious drink. While its "lid" is open, it will continuously attract, kill and harvest insects.
