      Eerie indeed, such plants seem to have a kind of intelligence. At least, their 'behaviour' suggests so.

      They have a kind of volition, common in animals and rare in plants. Where does it come from, I wonder.

    I feel sorry for the spiders - the bug goes in, gets stuck on the sticky part, the spider comes along sensing a free meal, and ends up as part of the main course.
    Life is beautiful, and also deadly to the unaware.
