The scientific or taxonomic name would be Utriculariaspp.
Bladderwort is not a second-level consumer; it is classified as a carnivorous plant belonging to the genus Utricularia. It primarily consumes small aquatic organisms, such as tiny insects and protozoans, using specialized bladder-like traps to capture them. In ecological terms, bladderwort acts more like a primary producer (as a plant) and a predator but does not fit the typical definition of a consumer in a food chain context.
In the Everglades, various animals consume bladderwort, including some species of fish, amphibians, and invertebrates. Notably, certain insects, such as water beetles and larvae, feed on the plant. Additionally, small herbivorous mammals, like raccoons, may also eat bladderwort when foraging for food. Overall, bladderwort plays a role in the diet of several aquatic and semi-aquatic species in this unique ecosystem.

The bladders on the bladderwort, a carnivorous plant, function as specialized traps for capturing small aquatic prey, such as insects and tiny crustaceans. Each bladder contains a vacuum that creates a low-pressure environment; when prey triggers the trapdoor, water rushes in, sucking the prey inside. This mechanism allows the plant to digest the captured organisms, providing essential nutrients in nutrient-poor environments.
Yes. The bladderwort traps minute insects and crustaceans in their specialized urn-shaped bladders.
