Unlike many plants, the Venus flytrap doesn't just get nutrition from photosynthesis and soil. Readers learn all about how the Venus flytrap draws in bugs to eat, as well as how the plant digests. The main content includes science curriculum information such as plant structures, habitat facts, and other unique elements of this plant's life cycle. Fun fact boxes and full-color photographs show this intriguing plant-and its victims-in a fascinating light"-- Provided by publisher.
