DESCRIPTION
Aldrovanda The Waterwheel Plant by Adam Cross
The first comprehensive monograph of Aldrovanda, the rare and extraordinary carnivorous “Waterwheel Plant”. This incredible carnivore, known for trapping aquatic prey between jaw-like lobes that dramatically snap shut when triggered, is related to the famous Venus Flytrap and employs one of the fastest movement responses known in the plant kingdom. Not only arthropods are caught in its deadly jaws, but even small vertebrates including tadpoles and fish fry.
