Carnivorous Plants in Illinois and Beyond

Carnivorous plants exist around the world, and how they attract, capture, and absorb nutrients from animals goes far beyond the venus flytrap.

More than a dozen types of carnivorous plants are found in Illinois. Ecologist Samantha Primer shows us a journey through the wild world of carnivorous plants, including a few you can find close to home.
