Harp Plant (Creature) Synopsis
This flowering plant is native to Chemi (Daibei 2530 C888413-9), a world owned by Indec Corporation, a well-known manufacturer of pharmaceuticals in Daibei.
Physiology & Ecology
The plant's method of attracting pollinating insects is by sound rather than scent or color.
The fine strands stretched between its upright stems vibrate in the wind, at a pitch which attracts native insects. When the insect responds, it makes a meal of the harp plant's pollen as well as spreading it around.
