Utricularia, or bladderworts, catch their prey using specialized structures called bladders, which are small, vacuum-like traps. When tiny aquatic organisms, such as protozoa or small crustaceans, come into contact with the trigger hairs on the bladder's opening, it rapidly opens a trapdoor, creating a vacuum that sucks the prey inside. Once captured, the bladder closes, and digestive enzymes break down the prey, allowing the plant to absorb nutrients. This carnivorous adaptation helps Utricularia thrive in nutrient-poor environments.
