The origin of the name of the Venus flytrapThere are regular shaped spines on the edges of the leaves of the Venus flytrap, which are said to be like the eyelashes of Venus, both beautiful and lethal, which means "Venus' fly trap". So it can eat the insects that land on it, hence the name Venus flytrap. The role of the Venus flytrapInsect CatchingThe name of the Venus flytrap tells us that it must have the function of catching insects. First, the pitcher plant uses its leaves to secrete a kind of nectar, and uses this nectar to lure insects to approach it. Secondly, when the insect approaches and enters the leaves, it will touch the sensory hairs of the Venus flytrap's sensory organs, and the leaves will immediately close, trapping the insect inside. In the end, when the insect is trapped inside, it will definitely struggle to escape, and the Venus flytrap knows everything, so it has prepared a cage. The stings on the edge of the Venus flytrap's leaves are a kind of multicellular protrusions that cannot bend. Once the leaves close to clamp the insect, the stings will buckle tightly together, thus preventing the insect from escaping. It's really amazing! Ornamental effectThe leaves of the Venus flytrap are the most obvious and main part, because the leaves have the function of preying on insects. Its appearance is covered with many spines and red sessile glands. It looks like a bloody mouth with sharp claws, very unique. Although it is not very good-looking, it is unique, elegant and lethal, so it is very popular with everyone. Venus flytraps are often used as potted plants and placed on balconies for maintenance and viewing of their leaves. |
