| | Nepenthales: Droseraceae & Nepenthaceae |
 | | In the photosynthetic autotrophic kingdom of plants, there are few among the green, leafy and inanimate that have evolved a certain taste for other organisms. |
 | | Upon digestion, the nutrients extracted from the prey are absorbed at the bases of the glands for over 3 to 5 days depending on temperature and the size of the prey. |
 | | Reproduction in Droseraceae occurs through insect pollination and involves relatively small flowers that are usually characterized by white, violet, or red colors. |
