When I was a kid, we lived in a shabby trailer and for whatever reason, no matter what we did, we would always have fly infestations, mostly in the summer. Then I learned about Venus fly traps. Our fly papers worked for a day or two, then the flies would get smart and avoid the areas where the paper was. So, little Elementary school me suggested Venus fly traps when I saw they sold them at Home Depot. I guess my mom just wanted to humor me, because she was surprised when it ate the fly we caught. I love those little guys!

Yay! Thanks for doing an episode on these guys. I absolutely love carnivorous plants and actually kinda sorta got to use the same evolution mechanics behind our real world Caron plants and a creation of mine in a fascinating evolution simulator called Thrive. (I am not affiliated with nor paid by the developers just love the game which is free and is nowhere near complete (only the single cell stage is available right now))

This is the first time I have heard of that bladder plant. I wish there was more emphasis in this video on that since so much time was spent on pitcher and sundew plants but, thankfully, I know how to google. Great video, as always!

Folks, isnt this channel just awsome

As if all that wasn't mind-blowing enough, the genus Nepenthes seems to say "hold my digestive fluid": at least one species is evolving away from carnivory; others derive much of their nutrients from the droppings of animals that they attract (the "bat Nepenthes" for instance has upper pitchers that perfectly accommodate a certain species of bat which seeks them out for daytime shelter); N. albomarginata is "preferential" to termites which it lures with secretions of cellulose; and then there are the commensals- a species of spider that lives in one nepenthes' pitchers, diving and hunting in the digestive fluids; and a mosquito that apparently lays its eggs exclusively in the same fluids, the larvae helping themselves the plant's prey, thanks to a coating that prevents them from being digested also.

That was a fantastic episode! I love Andy Steve whenever you mention him in the credits.

Just as a matter of semantics, it is not considered convergent evolution in the strictest sense to many evolutionary biologists. The term they seem to use is parallel evolution, where a trait that exists in some way in both organisms is modified to do the same thing. For example multiple woody plants evolving herbaceousness though a reduction of the vascular cambium. Convergent evolution to them is when different traits evolve to do the same thing but in different ways. An example of this is eyes in arthropods and vertebrates or "wood" in monocots even though monocots lack the vascular cambium necessary for the secondary growth that generates woods. I personally think this is a dumb distinction and that parallelism is just a type of convergence, but that's just me

I love when you guys talk about plants, it would be really cool if you make more of them in the future!

I gotta say, EONS videos are the best structured and paced, most easy yet still satisfying science shorts on youtube. Im more into physics and space but still, even SpaceTime -the best physics show on yt imo- could learn a bit from its sister channel. Thanks EONS, thanks PBS!

I sometimes think about how dinosaurs had counterparts on air, land and water. Similar to modern day animals, but a completely different set. Like how carnivory evolved 9 times on it's own in plants. Creatures repeatedly evolve similar tactics that work over and over, while still leaving room to develop new ones. Pretty cool stuff.

Thank you. I needed the "Eons Calm" right now in my day

My cousin once cared for a Venus flytrap, it’s really interesting to know how these plants and many others became carnivores.

So much variety and possibilities in the evolution of plants. This made me think: Why did plants never develope that ability to actively move themselves? Did their specific cell structure fundamentally not allow to build equivalents to nerves and mucles?

I’ve been wanting a video on this for a while very excited when I saw this

This channel makes me feel big brain even though i'm dumb

Nah, curiosity is what makes you smart.

Said before, say again: you have a lovely voice and well-modulated speech that project earnest involvement in your subjects.

I love the credit they give out at 9:33 for the people and the location of everything used 😊👍👍

This was great! I saw Moth Light Media's video on this subject a couple days ago, and I really enjoyed the Eons take on the same subject. It's such an interesting evolutionary development.

Ah thank you so much for giving the reason why this felt eerily as if I had seen it or something very similar before despite it being new!

Oh man, I had a pet venus fly trap as a kid, and it was such a joy for us to learn about her and feed her and get her little terrarium (an old cookie pot) just right. She would sorta hibernate every winter, and lived for yeeeears.

I would love a deep dive into the molecular clock method

Loving the message at the end, guys! An issue deserving of more attention. Respectfully working with indigenous peoples to learn from their lands and fostering good relationships between the scientific community and theirs would do so much to enrich our understanding. - An aspiring linguist & palaeontologist living on Kaurna land

Literal reaction to notification: EONS!!!! I always get so happy to see a new Eons video!! Of course, I'm completely icked-out about all things insects/bugs, but I make an exception for Eons insect-related videos. I didn't realize there were multiple different ways plants could be carnivores, that's pretty interesting.

I remember learning about pitcher plants as a kid, right after moving to Mississippi. One of the niftiest things I ever read up on for myself. I still think they're neat!

“A plant that used sticky goo to catch its prey, got stuck forever in the sticky secretions of another plant.” From certain videos I’ve seen on the internet, I believe that’s considered “friendly fire”

Thanks to Kallie for so beautifully hosting this, and of course the rest of the team and all of you who've helped bringing this into fruition! As a teacher I can only be happy, delighted, and thankful! You guys makes my work such a delight! Love from far away, happy, and supporting little Denmark! 🇩🇰❤️🇺🇸 PS to all of you lovely Americans! I sincerely hope you will take the time and effort to #vote2020 💙

Super curious. I’ve read about ancient forests on what is now Antartica and given its position for most of the end of the Cenozoic, it likely didn’t receive the same amount of sunlight as equatorial forests. Wonder if plant carnivores were widespread there during those hotter times.

Very educational and entertaining. It's great to have something like this after a long day.

Yeeeey! A palaeobotany episode! I felt so excited, I had to comment first, watch later LOL.

I wonder if some plants that evolved on land returned to underwater habitats. I’d love to learn more about aquatic ferns and kelp!

Kelp and seaweed isn't plants, seagrass on the other hand is a type of flowering plants.

I was always wondering when you guys were going to make this!

all this time, when looking at the links for the pbs eons merch, i assumed the one on the right was a sticky note cube. but it's actually a pin!

I love carnivorous plants, I own a little terrarium filled with them. They're absolutely the coolest and learning about how they evolved is amazing. A cool video I would love to see from you guys it's about the evolution of New world vultures Carthartidae and the Terratorns (Terratornis mirabilis)

I remember asking for this video at some point. Nice to see it made.

I love this topic! Great video as always.
