    Is there an advantage for the Shrew to do this? Does the plant grow on the side of the Shrew interstate?

      The shrew gets to lap up some sweet nectar, which is also a laxative.

        Seems unhygienic to be lapping up toilet nectar

      Many pitcher plants produce nectar as a lure.

      Not sure about shrews, but some animals hide their feces because the scent can let predators know where they are.

    Where do these grow? Why are insects scarce? Is it cold?

      Probably something like

      “Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub”

      Or maybe

      “Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-bop-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-ba-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda-bope”

    I am a shrew
    I see a leaf
    With yummy nectar for a feast
    I lick the glue
    But I feel funny
    I’ve got a rumbly in my tummy
    Good, it’s true
    It has a hole
    Wide like shrew-shaped toilet bowl
    And so I poo
    I feel no sorrow
    I’ll come and lick this plant tomorrow

      This plan started as a toilet, until one day it asked… Why should I not bite the hand that feeds me? And it worked.
