Some common knowledge is that, the monkey cup's cup are the plants mouth. It usually holds liquid/water to attract bugs of all sorts to a drink i.e. a bug's pub.

So using cups only and not destroying d plant would be alright; ‘cos more cups will be produced just like more flowers will bloom when the spent one are removed? In this regard, it makes perfect sense 2 utilize nature’s offerings.
