This aquatic plant captures prey with trap structures similar to those of the Venus Flytrap, but it is entirely submerged in water.
Named for its resemblance to a cobra, this plant traps insects in a hollow, twisted leaf. The prey is confused by transparent areas that appear like exits, preventing escape.
Found in aquatic and moist soil environments, bladderworts use bladder-like traps to suck in prey with a rapid trapdoor mechanism.
Butterworts use sticky, glandular leaves to trap insects. The leaves roll up to digest the prey with enzymes.
Sundews possess sticky, glandular hairs on their leaves which trap and digest insects using enzymes.
These plants have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid where insects fall and are digested.
Perhaps the most famous carnivorous plant, the Venus Flytrap captures prey with leaves that snap shut when trigger hairs are touched.
