Carnivorous Plants

This film, from Twig World, looks at how some carnivorous plants trap and kill their prey. The key points in the film are:

•Some plants, often in harsh conditions, have adapted to catch prey.

•They lure small insects with sweet nectar and bright colours.

•They capture them in sticky pads and pools of water.

•They digest and absorb the nutrients.
