This document summarizes carnivorous plants. It lists over 30 carnivorous plant genera found around the world, including Venus fly traps, pitcher plants, sundews, and bladderworts. It explains that carnivorous plants attract, trap, kill, and digest insects and small animals for nutrients. Some trap prey using sticky leaves while others drown insects in pitcher-shaped leaves. Though found globally, many carnivorous plants are protected by law. The document also provides brief descriptions of Venus fly traps and butterworts, as well as pictures of pitcher plants.

HowDo T Pl nt Cach T F he a s t heir ood? • As you can see some Carnivorous Plants have a sticky substance that catches flies on their leaves. • Others drown the insects in a pitcher shape that is part of the plant. • Still others trap whatever touches special trigger hairs.
A r e T h e P la n t s H a r d to G ro w ? • Carnivorous plants can be easy to grow. • They can be cultivated in a greenhouse. • You can grow some varieties in your house as house plants!
F stfa s a some v r ies a ct bout aiet
V fl t a (D ionaea) enus y r p • It is the most commonly known carnivorous plants. • The leaf closes when the tiny hairs inside the leaf are touched. • This picture (right) shows a leaf with an unusual double trap. (It is the only leaf known to have to grown like that)
Buter or (P inguicula) twt • Different varieties are found all over the world • They create a ‘winter resting bud’ that helps them survive cold weather • They are easy to grow in a greenhouse, but harder to grow in a terrarium because they need good air circulation.
APit pl ntbl cher a ossom •One variety of Pitcher Plants lives primarily on the West Coast in the United States (Darlingtonia) •The other varieties grow primarily in Florida and South Carolina (Sarracenia)
