The Common Garbage Can (purgamentorum receptáculum vulgaris) lives in large cities where it gets nourishment not from the polluted ground, but from the things that humans throw away.

The cans are first used to collect and digest trash, but as they grow taller they are instead used to attract pigeons and seagulls and other city-dwelling birds, in hopes of luring them inside the cans. While the prey is looking for food the lid closes above it. The phytotelmata inside the cans then digests the prey.

Since humans are known to throw away a wide variety of substances that are not necessarily organic, the plant is extremely hardened and some specimens have been reported to even digest car batteries and tires. Scientists are conducting experiments with Garbage Cans to see if they can be of use in nuclear waste repositories.

Garbage Cans are also well liked by the mafia and other people who need to get rid of large bodies of organic matter quickly.

About this picture: An urban plant! It was probably inspired by plants like this. This is just a pencil sketch (IWANTAWACOM) that I scanned and coloured with mouse (IWANTAWACOM); I didn't feel like putting many hours of effort into it, because my arm hurts. (IWANTAWACOM) However, feel free to have opinions, critique is always appreciated
