THESE carnivorous plants make light work of any insects that stray into
their deadly clutches. This set showcases an array of bug-eating plants,
from the Venus flytrap - beloved of children the world over - to the
Cape sundew, which lures insect life in with drops of sweet-smelling
fluid on the highly-adhesive tentacles that line its leaves. Surrounding
tentacles then move to further ensnare the insect, before glands on the
leaf start to release digestive enzymes - liquefying the insect's
internal organs and allowing them to be digested by the plant.
