A Plant Worthy of Harry Potter

With a name like Butterwort, one would expect to find it clinging to a corner of the castle at Hogwarts (The fictional castle in J.K. Rowling's famous series Harry Potter).

Butterwort Plant

Butterworts may appear plain & sort of cute in appearance. But they aren't. It's name comes from the buttery, sticky, greasy stuff that covers the leaves, which it uses to trap prey in the same way fly paper catches flies.

Wicked Slime & Acid

Insects become stuck in the leaf's sticky slime coating, then the acid of the slime helps the plant to digest the nutrients of the insects bodies. Sorta makes me think plants aren't always as nice as they appear.
