Many people have asked me “why are they called carnivorous and not insectivorous?” It’s because they can be literally carnivorous. Pitcher plants will “eat” anything that can fit inside and get stuck in the pitcher. Leaves, bugs, small mammals, anything that is unfortunate enough to stumble across these extraordinary plants. #ecology #science #biology #safe #sarracenia #carnivorousplants #carnivorousplant #carnivorousplantclub #carnivorousplantsociety #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsmakemehappy #c

This Venus flytrap enthusiast records dramatic footage of it catching and digesting bugs and snails. Fun fact: the insect-munching carnivorous plant only clamps its leaves shut after trigger hairs are tripped two times within about 20 seconds. #EcoFuture #FunChina | China Plus Culture
