As soon as the weather is hot, all the insects and mosquitoes in the corner come out. You can't stand the smell when you order mosquito repellent incense. Your mouth is dry all night. Huahua is going to buy some pots of insect eating flowers. Now let's see which one is the most ferocious!

Venus Fly Trap

Flytrap is a famous big man in insectivorous grass. It looks like a small pod. When it is stimulated, it can bite.

1. Prey

As an important nutrient of nitrogen and phosphorus, honeybee, fly, mosquito, moth, mantis, grasshopper and even frog may be its food.

2. Way of predation

A pod like a mouth is its weapon. When an insect accidentally climbs onto it, the two leaves will bite, and the leaves will secrete digestive fluid to kill the prey.

3. Maintenance method

Venus flytrap like hot and humid, can be placed on the balcony, windowsill, spray water every day to humidify, or the basin surface is covered with moss to moisturize

4. Do you hurt people?

In general, the market of flytrap is relatively small, the leaves are still relatively soft, and the bite force is not enough to hurt people. You can rest assured

Bottle grass

Botrytis is named after its shape. A tree can produce red, green and yellow "bottles". The bright colors look cute.

1. Prey

In addition to catching mosquitoes, flies, ladybugs and other flying insects, Sargassum can also prey on spiders, ants, earthworms and other small reptiles.

2. Way of predation

The "bottle body" of Sargasso is its trap. Once the bug climbs into its "bottle", it can't escape.

3. Maintenance method

Botrytis is fond of sunshine and humidity. It is planted with common flower soil mixed with sand and covered with moss to keep moisture. Can be planted in the yard, balcony, spray water on the line every day

4. Is it harmful to human body?

Some flower friends may be frightened by the bright patterns of the bottle grass. In fact, they are docile, have a small smell and are harmless to human body.

Chinese cabbage.

Maogao is the beauty of insectivorous grass. There are crystal clear water drops on each flower. It is fresh and beautiful.

1. Prey

It preys on moths, cryptoptera, mosquitoes, moths, blackflies, etc., mainly winged insects.

2. Way of predation

The glandular hairs grow on every branch of the thatch. The mucus secreted by the glandular hairs is like dew. When the insect gets close to it, it is trapped by the dew. When the branches are stimulated and curled up, it can hold the prey tightly.

3. Maintenance method

We like the wet environment very much. We'd better use the broken moss to grow it, and put it in a cool place such as the indoor bathroom. If the weather is dry, we should cover it with a bag to keep it stuffy, so as to ensure that the "dewdrop" can be formed on the cilia.

4. Is it harmful to people?

The cilium and dewdrop of maogao are non-toxic and harmless to human body. You can take good care of them.

Caterpillar fungus

It seems quiet and elegant, but it's still a caterpillar fungus, it's amazing.

1. Prey

Cordiery catches flies, ants and other small flying insects. They are not interested in mosquitoes. It seems that plants are also picky eaters.

2. Way of predation

The leaf surface of cordiery catches insects and secretes mucus. The insects are easy to be stuck and then digested by them.

3. Maintenance method

Like wet, want to keep basin soil moist, also can match plant of easy to recruit insect to plant together, put in the corner of flowerpot go, do not bask in the sun oh

Summer must be put in a cool place to avoid heat injury, in fact, it can be put in the bathroom and bedroom, the key is to kill insects, kill two birds with one stone

C. vulgaris

It's very similar to our common little wild flowers. You can't imagine that it's so thin and can eat insects

1. Prey

The nutria is relatively small, mainly preys on microorganisms. The water cultured nutria can preyed on mayflies, water mosquitoes, etc.

2. Predation method

The nutria's predation method is relatively hidden. Its rhizome is very developed, and there are many small vesicles growing on it. These vesicles suck the eggs and microorganisms of water and soil species.

3. Maintenance method

It is suitable for potted landscape to grow with grass, wet sand with seaweed soil or bryophyte soil, plus water spray every day to keep wet, too dry in summer and put on a cover or bag to keep stuffy.

Nepenthes

Now there are more and more flower friends in pig cage grass. It's strange to see the flower for the first time. I have to see it several times before I get used to it.

Nepenthes

1. Prey

Pitcher is not very picky. Flies, mosquitoes, flying ants and spiders can eat it. Look at its big mouth. It must be very good.

2. Predation method

The inner wall of the larval sac of pitcher plant can secrete sweet juice to attract the insects. The insects can't come out after they climb in, and then they are digested by it

3. Maintenance method

Mixed garden soil and sand soil planted with saprophytic soil should be watered and watered every day, and placed on the balcony or indoor astigmatism position. There are many bags of pitcher plant grass, which is suitable for hanging or building scaffolds to climb rattan.

Cute pitcher plant grass, yard, balcony, windowsill and other places where there is no way to repel insects, a few pots are more effective than anything!
