Flytrap<\/strong> is a term that is used in the field of botany<\/strong> to allude to different kinds of plants<\/strong>. As can be seen, the concept derives from the combination of the verb catch<\/strong> (to grab, capture) and the noun fly<\/strong> (an insect).<\/p>\n

In general, the notion refers to the species<\/strong> scientifically known as Dionaea muscipula<\/strong>. The flytrap is a carnivorous plant<\/strong>- Obtains nutrients from the insects it hunts through specialized structures.<\/p>\n

\"Dionaea<\/p>\n

Dionaea muscipula, a carnivorous plant, is called a flytrap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Characteristics of the flytrap<\/h2>\n

The flytrap is native to the American continent and belongs to the family group of the drosaceae<\/strong>. All species of this type have glands<\/strong> that segregate a viscous substance<\/strong>, which allows them catch and direct small animals<\/strong>, especially insects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the specific case of the flytrap, it has a large number of very small glands in the upper part of the leaves, where it also has sensitive hairs. In this way, if an insect lands on a leaf and touches the hairs, the leaf in question closes on itself to immobilize the animal<\/strong>, while the glands secrete a liquid that enables their digestion.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that the flytrap is capable of developing what is known as fast vegetable movement<\/strong> or vegetable quick move<\/strong>. This is how the tropism<\/strong> which is carried out in a very short period of time. The flytrap trap, in this frame, closes in less than a second.<\/p>\n

Their habitat<\/h2>\n

Thanks to its adaptability, the flytrap is cultivated in many regions. However, it is native to southeastern USA<\/strong>. It grows naturally in wetlands<\/strong> and swamps<\/strong> with peat or sandstone soil.<\/p>\n

The flytrap can live as houseplant<\/strong>, although it requires that the terms<\/strong> of their natural habitat. At a general level, it can be said that it tolerates up to about 5\u00baC in winter and up to 26\u00baC in summer.<\/p>\n

Other species known as flytraps<\/h2>\n

As we indicated above, the Dionaea muscipula<\/strong> It is not the only plant that receives the common name of flytrap. Several species of the gender<\/strong> Penguin<\/strong>, as the Pinguicula vallisneriifolia<\/strong>, the Pinguicula longifolia<\/strong> and the Pinguicula grandiflora<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To Dracunculus vulgaris<\/strong>, meanwhile, it is called flytrap, dragonet, shingles or serpentaria, for example<\/strong>. It is a perennial plant that can reach a height of more than one meter and is poisonous.<\/p>\n

\"Pyrocephalus<\/p>\n

Pyrocephalus rubinus is known as a red-breasted flytrap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Numerous birds<\/h2>\n

The idea of \u200b\u200bflytraps does not only appear in the field of botany. In the zoology<\/strong> We also find this word to refer to various birds.<\/p>\n

The yellow flytrap<\/strong> (Capsiempis flaveola<\/strong>), the striped flytrap<\/strong> (Myiodynastes maculatus<\/strong>), the stingray flytrap<\/strong> (Myiophobus fasciatus<\/strong>), the yellowtail flytrap<\/strong> (Terenotriccus erythrurus<\/strong>), the red-breasted flytrap<\/strong> (Pyrocephalus rubinus<\/strong>), the black crested flytrap<\/strong> (Myiarchus tuberculifer<\/strong>), the pic\u00f3n flytrap<\/strong> (Megarynchus pitangua<\/strong>), the hairless flytrap<\/strong> (Camptostoma obsoletum<\/strong>), the Aoxpecker flytrap<\/strong> (Machetornis rixosa<\/strong>) and the thief flytrap<\/strong> (Legatus leucophaiu<\/strong>s) are birds<\/strong> that share the denomination.<\/p>\n

Fly traps<\/h2>\n

At colloquial language<\/strong>, a flytrap is a device or contraption designed to catch flies<\/strong>. It can be a commercially available device or a homemade item.<\/p>\n

To make a flytrap at home, a sweet mixture is usually placed in a container since the sugar<\/strong> attracts flies. Then the insects are somehow trapped inside.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
