The 5 most beautiful carnivorous plants in the world.

South African Drosera 

The scientific name of the South African drosera is Drosera regia. It can only be found in the valley of that country. This plant is rather large, with leaves that can reach 2 meters. They are covered with tentacles that produce a sticky sap with which they can catch butterflies, beetles, moths, etc. These structures are screwed around the dam in a hermetic manner leading to death. It remains dormant during the winter and begins to grow from October to April. 


  
Lily snake 

The snake lily is called Darlingtonia californica in the scientific universe. It is a beautiful plant that shows bright colors and very unique characteristics, as is a bifid tongue that springs from it. It originates from the North American west coast and, unlike other family plants, its digestion is not carried out by enzymes but it has symbiotic bacteria that degrade the insects in the necessary nutrients. The reddish areas of the lily cobra attract the prey, which are covered with a transparent layer that deceives them and makes them stay in the predatory area. 



Tropical pitcher plant 

The tropical pitcher plant, whose name lives up to its shape, is scientifically called Nepenthes. It is native to the tropical forests of the Old World and has about 100 species, all of colorful colors and bright shades. Their traps are species of fixed jars that in their surface contain active substances, whose function is not to let the prey that falls there. 


 
Australian Jug Plant 

Cephalotus is the scientific name of the commonly called Australian jar plant. Beautiful and as dangerous as the tropical carafe, it has the same mechanism of containers that catch the victims, but also has a necklace, and once the prey falls on it there is no escape possible. 


 
Venus Flytrap 

Venus flytrap is called this plant of the genus Dionaea, probably one of the most beautiful carnivorous in the world. It is a small rosette plant that sprouts in spring. Its leaves are fast traps that have marginal bristles. As soon as the dam falls, they close and thus ensure that it does not escape. It then decomposes, is digested and is absorbed by the organism. The process takes approximately 10 days.
