The Venus flytrap eats insects and other small animals for extra nourishment. You might see some of these ninja plants--with their sneaky and deceitful ways--in your own backyard. These plants might even be sitting on a windowsill in your home. This fascinating world of ninja plants is waiting to be discovered.
