Butterworts have a flypaper method of traping. The leaf surface is oily and feels like butter. Hince the name!! They sent out a musty odor to attract bugs. The leaf has tiny glands that produce a sticky substance, catching the bug. The "stick" is not that stong, so most large bugs break free. Small gnats and other bugs cannot escape...

How does Butterwort eat flies?
Butterworts (Pinguiculas) are 'carnivorous' plants that trap small insects on their sticky leaves and harvest the nitrates from their bodies. They really don't 'eat' insects since 'eating' implies that energy is obtained from the insects. They need the nitrates because the bog soils where they grow are deficient in nitrates.
What kinds of bugs eat plants?
A carnivorous plant is the type of plant that eats bugs. Plants such as butterworts and sundews, corkscrews, flytraps and waterwheels and pitcher plants trap bugs in order to meet nutrient needs that are lacking in the poor soils where they generally grow. The first widely-circulated research on the subject of carnivorous plants was Insectivorous Plants by English naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (Feb. 12, 1809-April 19, 1882).
How do butterworts get food?
Butterflies usualy eat fruit that they find. But since they cant open it by themselves....they use their long tongues to suck the juice out of fruits that other animals have left behind. If you have a pet butterfly...I would suggest feeding them oranges. Just cut the orange in slices and place it where they are located. If they wish....the butterflies will drink the oranges juices. :P ~Gir
