So, why do Venus flytraps need to eat? Someone asked me this, after seeing a page of the zine. Turns out that even though my project isn't finished, that question has been answered :). It's just that a ton of more fascinating stuff is coming. #sciArt #carnivorousPlants #zine #venusFlytrap #humanMadeArt https://tippitiwichet.wordpress.com/bog-monsters-how-carnivorous-plants-do-the-things-they-do/

A few days ago, on a walk in South India, a close friend & awesome naturalist, casually pointed out 2 species of carnivorous plants, Sundews Drosera indica (Indian Sundew) , & D burmanii (Tropical sundew) For me, this was a big natural history moment, my first ever look at wild carnivorous plants. Just so awesome & beautiful https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosera_indica & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drosera_burmanni #carnivorousplants #IndiasNature #botany #plants #evolution #naturewalks #drosera #droseraindica #droseraburmanii

Many #butterwort species from Mexico have two growth phases. When the weather is dry, they form a tight rosette of succulent leaves. When seasonal moisture arrives, they transition into their carnivorous phase, sporting larger mucilage-covered leaves that catch small insects. #WorldCarnivorousPlantDay #CarnivorousPlantDay2026 #Butterwort #Lentibulariaceae #CarnivorousPlants #gardening
