Fascinating Fact 🎃
Did you know that some plants eat meat? (For example, flies and ants make their way into pitcher plants where they are then digested.) You can find pitcher plants (Sarracenia purpurea) in boggy areas around New York and at the New York Botanical Garden, Lehman's Plant Science partner.
