Carnivorous plants

Carnivorous plants are the 'most skillful green hunters on the planet.'

What is so special about carnivorous plants ( Venus fly trap ) that a society with over a thousand members exists to share information about them?

Carnivorous plants are predatory flowering plants that kill animals in order to derive nutrition from their bodies. They share three attributes that operate together and separate them from other plants.

Carnivorous plants:

Venus fly trap

Capture and kill prey

Have a mechanism to facilitate digestion of the prey

Derive a significant benefit from nutrients assimilated from the prey

To put it in more human terms, carnivorous plants eat things like insects, spiders, crustaceans and other small soil and water-living invertebrates and protozoans, lizards, mice, rats, and other small vertebrates. Carnivorous plants pull off this trick using specialized leaves that act as traps. Many traps lure prey with bright colors, extra-floral nectaries, guide hairs, and/or leaf extensions. Once caught and killed, the prey is digested by the plant and/or partner organisms. The plant then absorbs the nutrients made available from the corpse. Most carnivorous plants will grow without consuming prey but they grow much faster and reproduce much better with nutrients derived from their prey.
