Fruit fly (Drosophila) stuck on a leaf of a butterwort (Pinguicula sp.), a carnivorous plant. Butterworts have leaves covered in sticky hairs, that ensnare insects that alight on them. Glands on the leaf then release digestive enzymes that break down the insect, releasing its nutrients for absorption by the plant. | |
