Alpine Butterwort, Wildflower of the British Isles, Insectivorous seeds
Introduction:
Provided, of course, that you are not a small fly, whose opinions on this matter would probably differ considerably, this is a genus of rather attractive plants often with beautiful flowers. They are insectivorous, catching their prey, consisting mainly of tiny flies, winged aphids and the like, often in quantity, fly-paper fashion and digesting them in a flood of mucilage. However, as we say, attractive plants!
