Spectacular Carnivorous Plants in Action

Spectacular Carnivorous Plants in Action

Plants come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and apparently, even diets. The thought of having flesh-eating plants might sound absurd or myth-like, but the diversity of nature is so vast it's not so hard to believe that it also comprises a wonder of this sort. The fascinating study of carnivorous plants was first tackled by the famous Charles Darwin, who had written a book about them in 1875, titled "Insectivorous Plants". As the title suggests, these plants are more 'insectivorous' rather than flesh-eating, but carnivorous none the less. They grow in soil that normally lacks nutrients, but they make up for this by feeding on insects and arthropods, including flies, spiders, bees, slugs, and sometimes even larger animals like frogs and mice.
