Carnivores plants

Since you have heard the story let me tell you the prats and the way of carnivores plants scientifically.


Carnivorous plants are simply plants that obtain – in part or whole – the nutrients they require by way of ensnaring then digesting insects.

There are five carnivorous plant families that have evolved in a way that allows them to attract and trap various species of insects - though there are now around 630 variations that grow natively around the world.

Carnivourous Plants

Snap Traps: they use a swift leaf closing mechanism.

Flypaper Traps: these produce a sticky substance on the leaf surface.

Pitfall Traps: use a tubular type leaf with a small amount of digestive enzyme in the base.

Lobster Pot Traps: small chamber-like leaves – that are difficult to exit therefore encourages the prey forwards

Bladder Traps: suck prey in by way of using a bladder

Let me show you a video to better understand the cruelty of this plants
