So called because the first things it was observed capturing were bats.  Turns out it's not really that fussy about what it gets hold of.  Gunnar helping us out this time doing a fine job of demonstrating that even quite large prey are no match for the Bat Trap.

It look like it attatche itself to other trees to grow. Does it give its host part of the nutriment it get from it prey or is it a purely parasitic relationship?

It's an epiphyte, so it's only using the branch for support rather than as a parasitic exchange.

Well if the branch has to support the weight of a full grown human until it gets digested it's not really cool for the tree so it's still sort of a parasite imo

Given the size of the trees it lives on I don't think they notice.
