Carnivorous Plants (Nature Watch)
Description
A fly lands on a plant's shimmering leaf but gets trapped by its sticky surface. As the fly struggles to escape, the leaf folds in and the plant devours the insect. Carnivorous plants like this one feed on flies, moths, gnats, spiders, worms, and even small mammals like rats and mice. This edition of Nature Watch explores the physical characteristics and habitats of various carnivorous plants, including pitcher plants, venus fly traps, and cobra lilies.
