Paragraph 1
New research sheds
on how carnivorous plants like the Venus fly trap developed a
for meat. A study from the University of Würzburg in Germany suggests that subtle
in the genetics of plants led to some becoming carnivorous. These changes led to the
of some of nature's most
species. Carnivorous plants adapted
and devious ways to entice and snare insects. The Venus fly trap uses clam-like
that snap shut when an insect crawls between
. The pitcher plant is shaped like a vase - insects go inside and then cannot crawl up the
insides. The sundew plant has long
leaves, which roll up after insects get stuck on them.
