SSWC Botany: Carnivorous Plants


Isn't nature fascinating? :-)

Above is a video from BBC Earth that you may remember called The Secret Life of Plants. It features the Venus Fly Trap and also the Trumpet Pitcher Plant capturing and devouring their respective prey (unfortunately no time lapse insect digestion), while Sir David Attenborough narrates. You can visit the BBC Earth websites below for more stunning natural history videos!

My favourite Venus Fly Trap video is actually done by BBC One, and I've provided the link below as well for even more detailed, insectivorous glory!

    Awww... I was feeling sorry for the poor little fly buzzing and squeaking. Awwww... (*shakes head*) WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING? Anyway, I'm still on the hunt for a fly trap for you, RicV.

    I'd love to have one...I saw them in the Home Depot a while back. My room does not get enough light to sustain one, unfortunately. :-(

    Had one once, but they are very tough to keep alive.
