A Selection of Carnivorous Plants
In Trapper de Crawlers
“The Trapper of Crawlers”
This carnivorous plant appears as a small entanglement of approximately four to seven leaves. Its stem appearing rather small and thick.The plant contains wide leaves to allow large insects to proceed into its opening.
The plant’s prey typically consists of spiders, beetles, and other crawling insects. Its trapping mechanism reacts rapidly when small hairlike strands within the plant are triggered. The carnivorous plant is also able to differentiate its preferred prey from rain and etc. due to these strands being stimulated in rapid or constant succession of movement. Once inside, a creature is enclosed within, not being able to escape unless small enough.
The plant is most generally found within wet climates, typically swamps, not being able to tolerate tropical weather.

"The Insect's Incentive"
This plant is commonly found at the end of tendrils. It contains a crater formed by a deeply-curved leaf, and is filled with liquid. This crater serves as an instrument in attracting prey. Most of the specimen of these plants possess scales covered in wax within the cavities.
“The Insect’s Incentive” preys on crawling, foraging, and flying insects. It allures its prey into its pitcher by intriguing nectars and once trapped within, the insect is unable to fly away or crawl out, due to the waxy walls of the interior. The rim of the plant also remains slippery when it becomes moistened, causing insects to tumble into its trap otherwise.
The plant is able to grow in nearly all climates and regions.

“The Insect Binder”
The leaves of “The Insect Binder” are mottled with short glands that produce a type of sticky substance, not appearing directly carnivorous.
Its surface rejoinders to the with brisk extension, and the plant proves to be an effective ruse to insects. This growth occurs through a rolling of the leaf or sliding the surface beneath the prey to allow for a shaft to digest within.
The specimen generally grows within tropical conditions.
