The Nepenthes pudica develops underground traps to catch prey ((Credit: Martin Dančák)

The carnivorous pitcher plants obtain nutrition by luring unsuspecting insects inside their unique jug-shaped leaves and devouring them. However, the brightly-colored "pitfall traps" are usually set above the ground. Now, researchers have found a new species that grows its prey-trapping contraptions underground to capture subterranean bugs like ants, mites, and beetles.

                That is very cool. I never heard of a plant that traps prey underground. I only heard of a plant that traps fish in themselves and eats them and spiders that jump out of a hole in the ground, grabs prey and drags it back underground. I personally don't really like spiders because they are a little too creepy but it acts just like this plant.
