Darlingtonia californica - The Darlingtonia californica (aka Cobra Lily, California Pitcher Plant), is a fantastic example of the immense potential of nature's design. The plant offers false exits to insects, luring and trapping them. The insects eventually tire out and fall only to be broken down by bacteria and protozoa and subsequently absorbed by the plant.
Dionaea muscipula - The Venus Flytrap is most likely the most well-known carnivorous plant. It implements a system using trigger hairs to catch its prey.
Utricularia inflata - The swollen bladderwort is an aquatic carnivorous plant. The trapping mechanism utilizes a system in which the plant pumps water out of small sacs to create vacuumed spaces. When trigger hairs are touched, the sacs open to suck water and prey in.
