“…In addition to the morphological characteristics of the pitcher and the quantity of liquid in it, the position of pitchers could also affect the diversity of trapped prey. Therefore, flying insects are most commonly found in the upper pitchers of Nepenthes [4,18]. In this study, the upper pitchers are visited more frequently by flying insect orders such as Blattoidae, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, and Hymenoptera (figure 4).…”

“…Family Culicidae (order Diptera) trapped in the sampled pitchers were mosquito larvae. Mosquito larvae were able to survive in the pitcher fluid with a pH of 2.8-4.9 [18]. Some other Diptera larvae, such as Nepenthosyrphus (family Syrphidae), Dasyhelea (family Ceratopogonidae), and the larvae of family Empididae, might also be found in the pitchers of Nepenthes.…”

Nepenthes traps prey using its pitcher as an adaptation to thrive in low-nutrient habitats. This study aims to identify and analyze the composition of prey trapped in the pitchers of six Nepenthes species occur in Pematang Gadung. The preys were collected by purposive sampling from five pitchers of each species (N. ampullaria, N. bicalcarata, N. gracilis, N. mirabilis, N. rafflesiana and, N. x hookeriana) in two habitat types (peat swamp forest and heath forest). The diversity of prey trapped by Nepenthes was analyzed using Past Software Version 4.0. based on the Shannon index (H′) for each species and the Jaccard index to compare prey diversity between habitat types. A total of 1149 individual prey was collected, comprise seven orders of insects (Class Insecta) and one order of arachnids (Class Arachnida). The predominant prey was the insect of order Hymenoptera (85.90%), especially the family Formicidae. The other orders of insects were Diptera (10.36%), Coleoptera (1.48%), Blattodea (0.96%), Orthoptera (0.61%), and Hemiptera (0.09%). The order of arachnid was Araneae (0.61%). The most diverse prey was found in the pitchers of N. gracilis (H′= 0.79). The diversity of prey trapped by Nepenthes in both habitats has high similarity (JI = 0.71).

“…The results of research on insects at the bottom and top of the five species of Nepenthes in North Sumatra, the highest number of individual insects found in Nepenthes was from the Hymenoptera order (family Formicidae) 16 . While the results of research on Gunung Kunyit Forest also found Hymenoptera which was found in Nepenthes pitcher plants.…”

Background and Objective: Nepenthes is a marsupial plant that is a modification of the leaf tip and serves to trap insects. The difference in the position of the pitcher is expected to distinguish the insects that inhabit it. One of the locations Nepenthes was Gunung Kunyit which is included in the Kerinci Seblat National Park Area. Insects trapped in the Nepenthes can be studied through taxonomic studies. The objectives of this study were to determine the diversity of insects trapped in the Nepenthes and to know the species of Nepenthes. Materials and Methods:The research was conducted from February to May, 2022. The study used a survey method by direct observation in the field. Results: The insects found in the Nepenthes consisted of 3 orders, 7 families and 10 species. The most insects found to be Crematogaster sp., (82 individuals) and the least insects Sceliphron sp. and Dasiops sp. (5 individuals). At the research site, three species of Nepenthes, N. bongso, N. gymnamphora and N. inermis at an altitude of 1,768-1,993 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l.). Conclusion: The insect diversity index in the upper pitcher was 1.79 and for the lower pitcher position was 1.31, so it was categorized as a medium level.

“…Nepenthes are widely distributed in Indonesia, with 32 species recorded in Kalimantan between 2005 and 2014, 29 species in Sumatra, ten Sulawesi, nine in Papua, four in Maluku, and two species in Java. (Handayani 2017;Cheek and Jebb 2013;Dančák et al 2022;Tarigan et al 2021). Nepenthes also spread from the east of Madagascar to New Caledonia, southern China, and several small remote islands in the Western Pacific and Malesiana (Gaume et al 2016;Mansur et al 2021;Nerz and Koch 2018;Tarigan et al 2021;Yulita and Mansur 2012).…”

Abstract. Tarigan MRM, Aziz S, Tanjung IF, Pary C, Adlini MN, Jayanti UNAD, Ardianto, Ulfa AY. 2023. Morphology and pitcher's color Nepenthes in Batu Lubang Sibolga Area, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 1953-1962. The study's objective was to identify the size, color, and shape of a pitcher of Nepenthes found in the Batu Lubang Sibolga region. Purposive sampling is used as part of an exploratory approach in this study. Plot-based Nepenthes observation was conducted in the Sitahuis District, Central Tapanuli Regency, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia, to examine pitcher morphology and color. The results showed two species of Nepenthes, namely N. gracilis Korth and N. eustachya Miq, with two types of pitchers each, namely the lower and upper pitcher. The morphology of the Nepenthes pitchers has an almost similar shape but differs in the size of the pitcher circumference, where the lower pitcher is smaller than the upper pitcher. The bottom pitcher of N. gracilis has redwood (45%), and the upper pitcher is light green (55%), according to the proportion of observations of the color of the lower and upper pitchers of these two species. While the upper pitcher of N. eustachya is green with red dots (70%), the lower pitcher is light reddish green (30%). According to the study's findings, Nepenthes in the Batu Lubang Sibolga area required conservation intervention to preserve this species.
