AJHQ+A - Jellies
July 25, 2014 Category: AJHQ+A.

Incredible Tinybeast wants to know “can jellyfish sting themselves?” Dr. Tierney Thys gives us the answer in this week’s AJHQ+A.

Did you know that you may even find jellies in fresh water? The jellyfish species C. sowerbii, likes calm fresh water reservoirs, lakes, and slow moving rivers.

C. Sowerbiis can be found throughout the world and have been found in almost every US state with the exception of six: Wyoming, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, or South Dakota. C. Sowerbiis have even been found in India, Russia, Canada, Argentina and Brazil!

These jellies only get to be about one inch (2.5 cm) in diameter but can have as many as 400 tentacles! They tend to be mostly translucent with a whitish or greenish tinge. This particular species really likes the warm weather and is more commonly reported when summers have higher temperatures than usual.

If you’re having a hotter-than-usual summer in your corner of the world, keep an eye out for the C. Sowerbii jellies!

Creature Feature - Carnivorous Plants
July 22, 2014 Category: Creature Feature

Dr. Brady Barr finds a carnivorous pitcher plant in southwest China!

There are about 630 species of carnivorous plants that use one of five basic methods of trapping their prey.

Pitcher plants, like the ones in the video above, use pitfall traps to trap prey in a rolled leaf that they can’t escape. Flypaper traps are super sticky. Snap traps shut tight on foolish insects. Bladder traps suck in prey like a vacuum. Finally, lobster-pot traps have hairs that can only be walked on one way, towards the stomach!
