Ultra cularia

A species of plant that traps prey inside its a sac full of digestive fluids. It works by setting the sac under negative pressure in relation to its environment so that when the trapdoor is triggered, the prey is sucked into the sac.
Ultra Cularia have many variants, some are aquatic, some are landbound, some are even buried underground, like trapdoor spiders but all share the trait of the negative pressure sac as a feeding mechanism.
Finding land or underground Ultra Cularia is an indicator of nearby phreatic zones, their roots often digging deeper into the soil than other plants to find water sources.
Ultra Cularia often live in areas with poor quality soils as a way to outcompete other plants.
