Meat-Eating Plants – Part 1

A black fly hovers in the air over a strange-looking plant. Attracted by a sweet smell, the fly lands on one of the plant’s flat, red leaves.

The fly begins to crawl across the leaf. Suddenly, the leaf moves! Before the fly can get away, the leaf closes around it.

Two rows of teeth close together. Escape is impossible. The fly tries to get out, but the trap closes more tightly. Soon the fly is dead. In a few days, there is nothing left but the hard parts of its body.
