Animals run away when you try to put them in your mouth.

Fungus Friday! Here is a fun little carnivorous mushroom mimic concept I did a bit ago. This guy grows to roughly a foot in hight . Feeding solely on small rodents and the occasional large insect. The cap is covered with tiny hairs that are used as an extra sensory organ. Much like a Venus fly trap it is able to hear and feel it’s surroundings through vibration allowing it to pounce at the right moment. It’s is capable of mobility via its crab/flea like legs that are burrowed underground when hiding. #fungusfriday #fungusamongus🍄 #mushroom #shroom #carniverousplants #carniverous #mimic #concept #creatureconcept #creaturedesign #drawing #sketch #digitalart #digitalart #procreate #dannysilva #dsilvadesigns #fantasy #art #gamedesign #conceptart #conceptualart https://www.instagram.com/p/CqLelpSvx4k/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I just realized I haven't actually told all of you the wonderful variety that carnivorous plants can have! So many different styles and methods of catching their prey!!!

First, pitcher plants

They can come in all different shapes and sizes, but their goal is mostly all the same; attract insects by one method or another, get them to fall into the pitcher fluid, and extract the nutrients inside.

Sundews

have a lot of variety in the shape of their petioles (the leaf like structures with the sticky droplets on them) but most function essentially the same, attract bug, get bug stuck on the sticky glue on the ends of the many small hairs on the petioles, then excrete digestive fluid to extract the nutrients.

Venus flytrap

are the only species in its genus, so from standard plants there isn't much variety, but there are breeders out there who've made some weird looking plants if you're interested in looking it up.

These beauties have trigger hairs on the inside of each of the lobes of the trap, and if multiple trigger hairs are pressed within a few seconds of each other or the same hair is pressed twice, the trap closes, trapping the bug inside. then, digestive fluids are excreted, nutrients are extracted, and the trap re-opens to allow the insect carcass fall out or fly away in the wind.

There are many more kinds of carnivorous plants I'm excited to talk about one day, but in essence the goal of them all is to

-attract an insect

-capture the insect

-extract the nutrients from the insect

my cannibalism as desire metaphor obsession really showing its head in the most annoying places

[pancakeke]

decided to check back in on some plant subreddits and the first post I looked at was someone asking for help with leaf damage (likely caused by under/over watering) and the only reply was another person saying that they should use only rain water to water it and see if that helps. forgot everyone here is stupid and thinks plants cant tolerate tap water.

I'm so vegetarian my hunting dog brings down pineapples.

If I was a tree I would simply not put up with humans. I would get up, walk away, start to turn oxygen into nitrogen, eat buisnessman for breakfast like some fucked up carnivorous flower on their way to avenge their long lost brothers and sisters lost to the unquenchable thirst of humanly greed. Buried deep in the core of earth I would put salt to poison all that is left of what once was and not look back once.

Little tipsy feet. Thats what trees would have.

No room for a pet? Allergic to fur? Bored of normal plants the just sit there? I have a solution for you!

Carnivorous plants!!!

So, you might be asking yourself, I'm interested. Why should I get a carnivorous plant?

-Once you've got them all set, they're very easy to care for!

-Reduce bug population in your house if you grow them inside

-You can grow then inside or outside depending on your climate

-they're really fascinating

Get one!! they're so cool!

Nepenthes

photo by Yvette Gibbs The only evidence of invisible women, These anatomical vaginas form themselves From stalks that have grown out of leaves. Aberrant blooms that have got it all wrong? Or are they the next delicious thing – More alluring than the vampires of Berlin? Each one a purple vial to drown a rat in, Patiently ingesting its remains.  Time-honoured Transformation!  Protein changed to…
