Venus Flytrap
This is the only place on Earth where you can find these growing in the wild.
North and South Carolina
Sundews are covered in these sticky, glue-like tentacles that look like morning dew.
Mucilage
This is the name of the slippery "pitfall" trap that bugs fall into.
Pitfall Trap
Their name comes from the fact that their leaves feel like this slippery substance.
Butter
This plant lives in this environment, unlike flytraps or sundews which live in soil.
Water (Aquatic)
It needs this many "trigger hair" touches within 20 seconds to snap shut.
Two
When a bug gets stuck, the leaf performs this slow movement to wrap around the prey.
Tentacle or leaf curling
Tropical Pitchers have been known to occasionally eat these small vertebrate animals.
Frogs, rats, or mice
hey are often used by houseplant owners to catch these tiny, annoying black flies in the soil.
Fungus Gnats
It is officially the fastest-acting trap in the world, using this "force" to suck in prey.
Vacuum or Suction
It releases these proteins to dissolve its prey once the trap is airtight.
Enzymes
This is the common name of the popular "Cape Sundew" species from South Africa.
Drosera Capensis
These plants use this sugary substance on the rim of the pitcher to lure bugs in.
Nectar
Unlike most bug-eaters, many Butterworts grow beautiful flowers that look like this popular garden bloom.
Violets
This is the tiny "prey" it usually eats, which shares a name with a common household pet.
Water Fleas
It releases these proteins to dissolve its prey once the trap is airtight.
To avoid eating their pollinators
This famous scientist wrote an entire 400-page book mostly dedicated to studying Sundews.
Dr. Darwin (aka Charles Darwin)
The North American "Sarracenia" species is easily identified by this "hood" that keeps out rain.
Operculum
During the winter, many Butterworts stop being carnivorous and turn into this type of water-storing plant.
Succulent
The traps are called "bladders" because they are filled with this before they are triggered.
Compressed water or a partial vacuum
A single leaf can only perform this many "snaps" before it dies.
3 to 5 times
This tiny, round-leaved species is one of the few carnivorous plants native to the UK and Northern Europe.
Round-leaved Sundew
This specific pitcher plant is famous for having a "symbiotic" relationship where bats sleep inside it.
Woolly Bat Pitcher (Nepenthes hemsleyana)
The genus name Pinguicula comes from the Latin word pinguis, which means this.
Fat
This plant doesn't have any of these typical plant parts, which usually anchor them to the ground.
