sick bug facts #3: in the 1800's, someone found this orchid in Madagascar that has its nectar alllllll the way at the bottom of this 10-to-17-inch-long tube. Charles Darwin wrote about it in a letter and predicted that there must be a moth with an incredibly long proboscis. pic.twitter.com/9fY2zoiNEf— i bless the rains down in castamere (@Chinchillazllla) March 5, 2023
Darwin's exact words in a letter were, actually, "I have just received such a Box full from Mr Bateman with the astounding Angraecum sesquipedalia with a nectary a foot long. Good Heavens what insect can suck it!"— i bless the rains down in castamere (@Chinchillazllla) March 5, 2023
