Allen's Hummingbird Luke takes a drink from Wild Tobacco Inceville Los Liones Canyon 4074

            "Sometimes a plant’s defense systems just aren’t enough to stop insects from munching on them. Luckily, some plants like the wild tobacco have a backup plan. The plant creates a sweet, sugary treat on its stems and leaves that scientists call the “evil lollipop” because it gives leaf-eating caterpillars a bad case of body odour. That body odour then acts like a beacon to let lizards on the ground below the plant know that the caterpillars are available for easy eating."cbc.ca/kids
