carniverous plants
Venus Flytrap Plant
The perfect natural way to keep pests
under control. This carnivorous plant eats insects! The coloured "mouths"
attract flies etc, as soon as the fly enters the "mouth" the jaws close trapping
the fly. The plant then begins to digest the insect. The plant obtains all its nutritional
requirements this way and will grow to suit the availability of victims!
Pitcher Plant
The pitcher plant, Sarracenia
purpurea, has turned the tables on animals--eating them rather than being eaten. Pitcher
plants are classified as carnivorous rather than insectivorous because they consume not
only insects but also isopods, mites, spiders, and an occasional small frog. While
carnivory helps the plants remain vigorous, grow larger, and produce more flowers, it does
not appear essential for the survival of individual plants. This unusual life-style has
evolved as a means of obtaining nutrients in places otherwise deficient in them. In
addition to phosphorus and nitrogen, pitcher plants obtain Health and Nutrition Information and Products and other trace
minerals from their prey.
