In nature, there are over 600 species of plant-killers. They lure their prey into traps, traps, trapping pits intoxicating smells and other tricks. Feeling the smell of food, the insect is sent to the pitcher insectivorous plants. These predators, like all other plants that use photosynthesis to produce nutrients. However, this is too small for a full life, as most of them live on poor soil micronutrients. To survive in such difficult conditions, plants use nitrogen-killer, which is derived from their victims.
Insect falls into the Venus flytrap, twice touching her tiny hairs.
Tropical nepenthes lure a new victim to its inviting aroma. But once the insect sits on the slippery rim, immediately slips into its insatiable maw.
More than 675 species of plants, predators armed with passive traps. For example, zhiryanka. It ruffle sticky hairs, insect restraint, while the food is not processed into the digestive fluid.
Australian sundew lures insects transparent, like dew drops. It is worth the sacrifice land to enjoy, as immediately grasps its plant hairs.
Through a thin sheet of the Philippine monkey-cup, like the cover of shadow theater, one can see the outlines of trapped insects. Getting out the trap they can not wax the inside wall of the jug, while the enzymes in its day supply plant nutrients to the victim.
Plant-eating predators are not only caught insects, and reproduce with them. In order to attract pollinating another, flowers sarratseniya holds on long flexible stems, away from the jug-trap. They hang down like little Chinese lanterns, attracting pollinating bees in their cells with pollen.
Other plants, insects, if there is no volunteer, self-pollinated, as does the sundew.
If the plant does not hold tightly to their insect sticky hairs, insect break free, even crippled. William McLaughlin, an employee at the U.S. Botanic Garden, says that often happens is that the victim dies, and the predator is hungry.
Full-blown flower to the South African sundew Royal - the largest representative of its species. Its luxurious leaves are half a meter in length.
Tiny tsefalotus hails from Western Australia only regales crawling insects. Sticky hairs and delicate aroma beckoning plant lures the ants in their bowels.
North American hybrid, filled with water, attracts bees, the smell of nectar and its wide rim - the ideal landing pad. Eat insects - not the most efficient way to plant a predator, to provide themselves with nutrients, but certainly the most exotic
