Venus Flytrap casualty selectivity



With the Venus flytrap, casualty is bound to beetles, spiders and added ample arthropods. In fact, the Dionaea diet is 33% ants, 30% spiders, 10% beetles, and 10% grasshoppers, with beneath than 5% aeriform insects.

Most cannibal plants selectively augment on specific prey. This alternative is due to the accessible casualty and the blazon of allurement acclimated by the organism. Given that Dionaea acquired from an affiliated anatomy of Drosera (carnivorous plants that use a adhesive allurement instead of a breeze trap) the acumen for this evolutionary aberration becomes clear. Whilst Drosera absorb smaller, aeriform insects, Dionaea absorb beyond earthbound bugs.

From these beyond bugs, Dionaea are able to extract added nutrients. This gives Dionaea an evolutionary advantage over their affiliated adhesive allurement form.
