Drawings Featuring Carnivorous Plants - Careful, They Bite!

When photosynthesis alone doesn’t cut it, you’ve got to get those nutrients in somehow, even if it means turning to carnivory. Carnivorous plants derive their nutrients from the insects and animals they trap and consume, which can spell terror for a naive little bug going about its business. Pitcher plants, flypaper traps, and snap traps all have unique ways of capturing their prey, and even if you know they’re dangerous, it can be hard not to be drawn to their strange and vibrant shapes.

From whimsical to macabre, today’s illustrations revolve around these sticky, vicious, and sharp-toothed predators. As oddly enticing as they may seem, make sure to keep your fingers far away from them!
