Carnivorous Plant: Bladderworts
Bladderworts are small as your fingernail. New Zealand has heaps of types of bladderworts, you see them in wetland like rivers, bogs, swampy or sandy area. The bladderworts spit out water to empty their insides. When a small bug comes and presses against the bladderwort, the little bug touches the tiny hairs, bladderworts open up and the bug gets stuck in the plant. Then the acid or the liquid that the bladderworts produce turn the bug into food. Did you know that bladderworts are 100 times faster than a venus flytrap in catching their prey? The bladderwort plant has no roots because they live in the water. They need underwater bugs to live. The bladderworts catch its food using its capsule. Then it will spit out to clean its insides again to try and get some more food.
