Abstract

The distribution of Sarracenia purpurea and Drosera rotundifolia in 170 randomly distributed plots in Mud Lake Bog were recorded and compared to the distribution of insects in those same plots. We found a positive correlation between pitcher plant distribution and insect abundance. The density of sundew plants did not differ across the bog.
