Fatal attraction

Although I do not have a keen interest into botany and gardening, I have always been fascinated by carnivorous plants.
These plants always arouse curiosity among people, bringing to mind depictions of fantastic "man-eating" plants and the environment, in which many of them live, the mysterious tropical forest, has helped to magnify what I've just said.
There are many hundred species of plants that attract animals to consume as food: some specialize in attracting insects with sweet scents, others use a leaf swift closing mechanism, some use a tubular type leaf with a small amount of digestive enzyme in the base.
There is something wonderfully unsettling and mysterious about these plants that feasts on animals: nature always intrigues us with his own artistic creations, a fascinating world made up of colors and evolved into ingenious traps.
