How to eat insects Nepenthes as a plant, it can catch and eat insects that have the ability to fly and crawl, because one of its unique organs is the small cage above, which is what catches insects. This organ is a long and deep bottle with a small mouth at the top. Once a bug crawls in, it can't get out, and gradually it will be buried at the bottom of the bottle, which will become the nourishment for the growth of Nepenthes.

Why can you eat worms? Some people may ask, isn't it just a plant? Even if the bottle is deep, it won't swallow worms. What's the mystery? Yes, the cage of this plant is not just as simple as a bottle. The inside of this bottle is very smooth. Once insects enter, they will slide down the bottom of the bottle, and there are thousands of digestive glands waiting for them at the bottom of the bottle. With the secretion and corrosion of internal digestive juice, the insects that accidentally come in will gradually be anesthetized, lose their mobility, and then be eaten and become nutrients.

Nepenthes not only has internal digestive function, but also has trapping function. In the upper part of the bottle, that is, the mouth of the bottle, a large number of nectaries grow, and these glands secrete a large number of sweet objects, so as to attract a group of insects who come to look for food. The temptation of food makes the worm fall for it, and step by step goes to the abyss of death, and he can't get up again.
