THE BUG EATER PLANT


 

Dionaea muscipula which also has a second name as “venus fly trap” is the most popular type among the other carnivorous plants.  This plant can live in Ireland and in United Kingdom. These plants have many prickly furs which stay within the chins at the top of the plants.  It has got 9 cm height.

These insect eater  plant attracts insects’ attention by using its’ sweet smelling nectar.
When an insect stays on the head of the Venus fly trap, they can’t stop themselves to find the sugary nectar.  Once the insect touches the prickly furs and is stuck in them, the mouse trap suddenly gets closed and takes in the victim inside.  After that it spreads an enzyme which fuses the insect to make the fly become as a delicious dinnerJ 



After a few days, the plant opens itself again and waits it's next yummy prey to eat. Each leaf can open and close itself about 7 times in its life. They get all the nutrition from the insects that they need.

If you want to raise this carnevorous plant at your house you have to give water to it  as much as it needs!!! Oooh by the way, you have to catch some insect friends to feed your plant!:))
