Genlisea, a genus of carnivorous plants, traps its prey primarily through specialized underground traps known as "tubers." These structures have modified leaves that create a suction mechanism when small aquatic organisms, like protozoa, enter. The traps have a narrow opening and a smooth, slippery interior that prevents escape, allowing the plant to absorb nutrients from the trapped prey. This adaptation enables Genlisea to thrive in nutrient-poor environments.

What do spiders eat and how do they catch there prey?
Spiders eat other insects. Most spiders build webs that have sticky strands to trap small insects who get tangled up when they fly into it. When the spider feels something struggling in its web it will run over and bite the prey, which will paralyze it and turn its insides to liquid (spiders can't chew). The spider then wraps its prey up in silk (like a mummy!) and it waits until the prey's insides turn to liquid so it can drink it up. Yum! Try watching a spider eat a fly from a web at home.
What do spiders eat and where and how do they get the food?

Several hundred species belong to this category. Snap traps, (aldrovanda, dionaea, utricularia) trap their prey through bladders or folding leaves. This comprises of about 227 species. Passive traps makes up the ramainder. This includes catopsis, brocchinia, sarracenia, cephalotus, heliamphora, nepenthes, darlingtonia, and genlisea. Over all, about 18 genus.
