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 are some adaptations for butterworts?
Butterworts have evolved sticky glands on their leaves to trap and digest insects for nutrients in nutrient-poor environments. They also possess a rosette leaf arrangement that helps to trap rainwater and prevent the plant from drying out. Additionally, butterworts have a specialized root system that allows them to anchor in loose, moist soil.
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
Can you name some carnivorous plants?
The types of carnivorous plants are Nepenthes (tropical pitcher plants), Sarracenia (pitcher plants), Dionaea (venus fly traps), Pinguicula (butterworts), Utricularia (bladderworts), Aldrovanda (waterwheel plants), Drosera (sundews), Cephalotus (australian pitcher plants), Heliamphora (sun pitcher plants) and Genlisea (corkscrew plants). Roridula is carnivorous at one point in it's life, mostly before flowering.

What are examples of insectivorous plants?
Some examples of insectivorous plants include Venus flytrap, pitcher plants, sundews, and butterworts. These plants have evolved unique mechanisms to attract, trap, and digest insects as a source of nutrients in environments with poor soil quality.
