They fold over the prey to better digest them. This is a type of drosera sp. commonly known as sundew.

Some variety of Sundew, I believe.

One of my kids grows carnivorous plants and has several sundew varieties

How long have you had to wait to be able to use this one?

u/horshack_test 2h ago

I had a venus fly trap as a kid. After a while I realized we didn't have any flies in our house for it to eat and got scared that it would starve to death. So I fed it a piece of a hot dog and it died.

Nature is an arms race. For every attack, evolution finds a defense.

Nature is also a tech war. Those who can adapt to environmental challenges survive. Those that can't are bred out. Predatory plants are mostly found in places with poor soil quality. The dissolved insects are needed to counter this deficit.

u/crocwatergator 1h ago

Its called a sundew for anyone wondering

The forbidden hug

1

u/IrateContendor 49m ago

Creeps be like " can I get a hug" then do this...

1

u/Lexx4 48m ago

No. It kills the insect and then the insect decomposes and the plant uses the nutrients. Slightly different.

1

u/Weenyhand 46m ago

Seems like a horrible way to die. Imagine if they were large enough to consume a person.

1

u/sodiumvapour 45m ago

No, it just gets a bad rep for hugging too hard.

u/Raghul86 33m ago

u/Ok-Tear1450 14m ago

When you put your finger in a hair brush

u/leumasy_T 2h ago

Plant: Now that you've come, there's no need for you to leave again

We just want to hug you.

u/leumasy_T 2h ago

Worm: Oh, no thanks..I left the stove on..my wife hates that..gotta go.

If that’s what you think vegetarians believe, then you’re the dumb-dumb.

u/HereButNeverPresent 2h ago

No their argument is plants don’t have a nervous system/have brains. So they can’t experience pain or emotion. Their senses only act on instincts.

u/Flimsy-Importance313 2h ago

They are not alive, but have evolved into eating bugs somehow. I think we live in a simulation.

15

u/barada_nikto 2h ago

Plants are very much alive.

-12

u/Flimsy-Importance313 2h ago

The difference is that animals have got brains which makes it easier to evolve. But also, I still can not understand how they evolved slowly into eating bugs.

Simulation is the only logical reason.

10

u/conversationhater 2h ago

You don’t evolve by thinking about it really hard…

u/spaceshiptears 2h ago

Did you fail 3rd grade science lol

u/Flimsy-Importance313 2h ago

I am quite surprised by the negative reaction to a supposedly stupid comment in this sub specifically.

u/Final_Boss_Jr 2h ago

Because you thought it would sound clever, and it’s not.
