The poliki has abandoned its insectivorous diet as it has better access to sunlight and thus no longer needs it. This means that their reproduction has also changed. Instead of forming fruits from flowers which trap small creatures, the flowers produce a sweet nectar for larger animals to drink. In the process of drinking the nectar, these animals will collect pollen on their heads which will be passed to another poliki flower when they drink from it. Some tiny creatures might still drown in the nectar, but are not digested by the plant. Flowers that are pollinated in this way become a bitter fruit which will explode, showering the forest below with the seeds. |
