Meat-Eating Plants

Cover: Meat-eating Plants

“The insect doesn’t know it, but it has just made a big mistake.” Yep, that fly just got suckered by the oldest trick in the book, the Venus flytrap’s nectar. This entry in the Plant-ology series uses every inch of its wide trim to show the brilliantly colored, sticky-edged surfaces of these infamous freaks of nature. Details provided by the text and side boxes are reiterated within the glossy photos, as Lawrence works her way through the flytrap, sundew, butterwort, and pitcher plants, the last of which drowns its prey in a leafy cup. (Warning: includes terrifying picture of a rat caught in said cup.) Maps tell us where each plant can be found, and a short experiment concludes. Readers might just want one of these cool, quiet killers for themselves.
