Carnivorous plants grow in hostile, nutrient-deficient habitats like bogs, swamps and rocky mountain outcrops. They have managed to survive by developing a range of trapping mechanisms for catching insects. These insects then provide the nutrition the plants require to grow and reproduce. In the fight for survival a competitive advantage like this can mean the difference between life and death.
Carnivorous plants are evolutionary marvels and also cunning, ferocious hunters. Always waiting. Always hungry. Always ready.
