What are plants? How did they develop? How do they use the skills they develop to benefit their lives? Plants continually evolve every minute. There are many species of carnivorous plants. There are more than 500 species. All carnivorous plants most scientifically known as insectivorous. Due to their living location, they have developed a strong taste for insects. They capture, devour, and use insect nutrients to replace what is lacking in their terrestrial diet. Bladderwort is an insectivore. This plant is one of many. This plant has two hundred and thirty-three breeds. Just under half of the carnivorous species. Bladderwort is a fast plant. No human being knew about the speed of the plant. The speed was too great for the human eye to see. Until a scientist came along and studied bladderwort for years. I never got to see what happened. He took a high-speed camera and filmed the bladderwort. But the plant was still too fast. Eventually he got a very high-speed camera. I'm talking top. I finally caught the bladderwort in action. Bladderwort is so fast that it can force an insect larger than the hole into its trap and begin digesting it before you can blink a tenth of an eye. Due to the environment, bladderwort gets all of its food from bugs and other aquatic insects. Bladderwort floats in water and forms dense mats. which provides abundant refuge/habitat for underwater vertebrates and invertebrates. It's a bit like growing your own food. Judging from the previous sentences you could probably deduce that bladderwort is a rather small insectivore. It's so small that. the small water beetles that are about the size of a feather head. This is the largest insect that can inhale. The plants in the image can vary in size: they can be as small as a mouse or as large as a 6 foot, two hundred and eighty pound man. Photo plants can use insects to eat bread or do both. The plants illustrated are insectivorous. This means they eat insects. Evan sometimes small rodents. The illustrated plants have several tricks. Such as using perfume, sweet nectar or even making oneself a slippery obstacle.
