the plant world, those
that eat flesh have
always been considered
the most mysterious.
Their ability to attract
and trap animals has
been a source; of
fastrination for years.
There are over 450 flesh -
eating plants in the
world. Despite vicious
rumours S not a single one
of these 450 will devour a
person.
' The most common
carnivorous plant is the
Venus Fly Trap, which,
catches irocts with its
leaves. Although it traps
a wide variety of .insects
-its main source •ofTood is
ants, not flies.
Two leaves of a Venus
F.ly trap form a cup.
Each side of the cup has
bristles. When an insect,
attracted by the sweet
smell of the liquid inside
the cup, lands on a leaf, it
cannot help but touch
these bristles. The two
sides of the leaf snap shut
and 'lock the insect inside
the cup' with no means of
escape. Once the trap is
closed it fills up with
liquid and the insect
drowns. The insect slowly
gets digested by the
plant. When the plant has
used as much of the in-
sect as it wants the trap
opens and the Insect's
skeleton gets swept away
by the wind.
The Butterwort,
another flesh=eating
plant, received' its name
because of a sticky yellow
substance quit covers the
surface of its leaves like a
thin layer of butter. This
sticky covering glues
insects to the leaves of
the plant which, once
they have captured their
prey, curl over and trap
the victim.
The Sundew is one of
the most beautiful car-
nivorous plants. The
plant glistens in the sun
because of the droplets of
sticky fluid which rest on
the ends of the plant's
tiny tentacles. Small
insects stick to the ten-
tacles which bend over to
neighbouring tentacles to
trap the insect. This plant
eats so quickly that a
trapped insect can be

Most carnivorous
plants live in bogs and
marshes. The plants
become scarce as their
natural homes are
bulldozed over for new
`housing developments. It
is furs to hunt for these
fascinating plants and
watch them eat, but
because they are
becoming rare, it is
better to leave them
where they are.
The flesh -eating -.plants
easiest to grow are found
at a florists. These plants
have been cultivated by
nurseries so if you' buy
them you will not be
threatening their wild
existence.
If you decide to raise
carnivorous plants
feeding them will be
simple. They should be
happy with the insects
found around your home.
These plants can live
without any insects for
quite a while, but they
will become weak and
unhealthy. A ,starving
carnivorous plant will
appreciate a tiny piece of
hamburger or cooked egg
white dropped into its
trap. They don't have to
eat you
be fed very often once
every six weeks should be
enough. Besides eating
meat, carnivorous plants
need plenty of sunshine,
humidity and water.
Carnivorous plants are
fob to and obsem..
They! are great to iaave
around the house,
especially if yeti art'. sick
of swatting mosquitoes.
No matter how large
these plants get they
Won't eat you.
