Insectivorous plants that live by gluttonous animals are hairy and infinitely fascinating.
Unfortunately, environmental pollution is turning some insectivorous plants into “vegans.”

Nepenthes
——————————————
Nepenthes is the general term for all species of Nepenthes. It is a tropical carnivorous plant and has a unique nutrient-absorbing organ-the insect trap, named after its shape like a pig cage. Nepenthes has small green or purple flowers, and the bottle-shaped body at the top of the leaf is a tool for preying on insects. The cap of the bottle body can secrete fragrance and attract insects. The mouth of the bottle is smooth, and the insects will fall into the bottle, drown by the liquid secreted from the bottom of the bottle, and decompose the nutrients of the insect body, and gradually digest and absorb it.

Venus flytrap
—————————————The
leaf of the Venus flytrap itself has tropism. The struggling of the prey stimulates the inner surface of the clip leaf to cause the clip leaf to grow inward, so that the prey is sealed in the clip leaf to form a digestive sac, which starts the digestion process for one to two weeks. Each clip-shaped insect trap can be used 3 to 4 times and will eventually lose its ability to close.
