Venus Fly-Traps are bog plants, growing in nutrient-deficient soils like peat moss or long-fibered sphagnum moss. The typical plant is green, with a reddish-orange color on the inside of the mature trap.

Pitcher Plants occur in many areas of the world in wet, boggy environments. Usually they flower first, before developing their pitchers or nectar, so that their pollinators won’t be eaten before they can pollinate the plants!

Sundews occur in boggy areas around the world. They are beautiful little plants, often tinged with red, and covered with a sticky glue that glistens in the sunlight like dewdrops!

Butterworts capture and digest insects in a similar manner to sundews. Their leaves have a greasy feel (like butter). Some varieties actually curl the edges of the leaves in response to capturing an insect with their sticky glue.
