Carnivorous plants are meat-eaters. They grow in boggy places where the soil is not very good and the
minerals they need in order to grow well are in short supply. The plants use their leaves to catch and kill
insects which give them more of the necessary minerals. They have invented some amazing ways to spice
up their diets.
Pitcher Plants.
The pitcher plant’s leaves take the shape of deep containers where pools of water collect. Insects are
attracted to the plant by its bright colouring, strong smell, or by nectar secreted around the rim of the
pitcher. But they often lose their footing on the slippery and fall into the water and down. They gradually
dissolve into a kind of insect broth which the plant digests.
Sundews( Cây gọng vó; cây ma cao)
Sundews have bright red leaves covered with hairs which produce a sweet sticky liquid. When an insect
lands its feet getstuck to some of the hairs on the leaf. The nearby hairs bend toward the insect, surround
it and suffocate it so that it can be digested.
Butterworts:
The glistening golden leaves of the butterwort are a deadly glue trap. They produce a sticky substance
which traps the insects when they land. But no matter how hard they struggle, the leaf edges curl inwards
and the butterwort begins its lunch!

Venus Flytraps
The leaves of the Venus Flytraps have a hinge right down the central vein and long sharp teeth along the
edges. They have special hairs that are sensitive to the slightest pressure. When an insect lands on a leaf
and touches at least two of these hairs- SNAP! The leaf closes on the insect in less than a second. When it
has captured something, the trap stays closed for about a week, while the plant slowly digests its victim
with its digestive juices. When it opens again, nothing is left of the unlucky insect but its skeleton.

The Mayan civilization was the oldest of the three largest civilizations in South and Central America. The
empire lasted from about 300 A.D to 900 A.D.
While Europeans were in the midst of the Dark Ages, Mayans never stopped learning. They tried out new
framing methods. They rotated their crops so the soil would last longer. They only farmed crops on the
