A beautifully dangerous plant, this one bags its name from its butter-like greasy leaflets that carry a sticky substance that assists in catching the bugs. Once the bug sticks onto its leaflet, the plant curls the leaves up to make a cup-like appearance, trapping the bug inside its digestive tract forever. Besides, butterwort looks gorgeous with buttery green leaves and long stems that carry pretty purple blooms on the edges.
Butterwort bristles have gluey hairs that snag insects until the plant’s digestive juices do their work.
