The Venus Fly Trap is the best-known carnivorous plant in the world. Fly Traps secrete a mild scent to attract insects. If the insect touches the hairs on the leaves the plant will close tightly around it and begin digesting it. These strange, yet attractive plants produce a reddish color inside the leaves when exposed to strong sunlight. Drosera, commonly known as the sundews, comprise one of the largest genera of carnivorous plants, with over 170 species. These members of the family Droseraceae lure, capture, and digest insects using stalked mucilaginous glands covering their leaf surface. The insects are used to supplement the poor mineral nutrition that sundews are able to obtain from the soil they grow in. |
