(1) Plant that can catch and eat insects and animals? Carnivorous plants? Do they really exist or are they just ideas in horror stories and films? Are some plants really able to eat animals?
(2) Well, no, not animals. But some plants can catch insects and they do eat them. In fact, there are over 1,600 different sorts of carnivorous plants, which fall into two main groups: passive traps and active traps.
(3) Passive traps do not have to move. Insects walk on the plant and they either fall into its cup-shaped flowers or they get stuck on its sticky leaves, and they cannot escape. Cells inside the plant begin to digest the insect, which is an important source of nitrogen for the plant. The monkey cup, which grows in south-east Asia, is a typical example of this sort of trap. Other traps of this sort are the cobra lily and the trumpet pitcher plant.
(4) Active traps, on the other hand, are able to move – they have to catch their victims. When an insect crawls onto their leaves, which are sometimes shaped like an animal’s jaws, they suddenly snap together and the insect is not able to get out. The Venus flytrap, which comes from Carolina in the USA, is the best-known member of this group. The sundew plant is another example of an active trap.
(5) Different sorts of carnivorous plants live almost all over the world, from the extreme north of Canada and Russia to Tierra del Fuego, on the southern tip of South America. Only the islands of the Pacific Ocean have no meat-eating plants.
