The co-called Venus "6y.trap" or vegetable
butcher" is one OF the most remarkable of
these. 1t grows in Wild state In the forests
Of North Carolina, where 1t creeps along the
ground. presenting thousands of gaping
mouths, into WHICH the unsuspecting fly or
insect is lured and imprisoned.
The leaves of this plant consist Of two
valves, shaped like clam shells, which, when
closed, form trap. The ends of the leaves
are baited with a sweet juice which attracts
the insect. The leaves covered with
minute hairs, which correspond very closely
