Sundew
Grows All continents except
Antarctica. They like bogs.
Fearsome fact Don’t be fooled
by the sundew’s jewel-like blobs
- they’re a death trap for insects
that get stuck in the glistening
goo! Tentacles curl around the
struggling victim, then the leaf
folds around it too, oozing fluids
that dissolve the body. Eek!

Southeast Asia, India, Australia
and the Americas.Fearsome fact Victims are
lured to nectar on the plant’s
lid or rim, then lose their grip
on the slippery sides, tumbling
into the liquid-filled funnel.
Digestive acids turn the insects
into a nutrient soup. Yum!Pitcher plants can be a

but boil it BEFORE DRINKING,
and remove any dead flies!
