Venus Flytraps actually don't eat bugs. They perform photosynthesis just like any other normal plant. What they really do with the insect is us the raw materials for Biosynthesis.

(Sorry for all the science terms, they belong in school)

Certain acacia trees have protein-rich growth on them, which are food for ants that have a symbiotic relationship with the tree.
However, sometimes, there is a second type of invertebrate inhabiting the tree. A small jumping spider called Bagheera kiplingi. It doesn't eat the ants, since it is small and groups of ants could easily take it down. Instead, it uses its natural hunting skill to get past the ants undetected to also eat the tree growths. Omnivorous spiders are not that in common, but this one tops it by actually being mostly herbivorous. Up to 90% of its diet has been reported to be plant matter.

Tl;Dr: Some species of spider actively hunts plants.

What do Shiba Inus~ like to dream about? Is it dancing Hainus?
- Our blood is red because the protein that makes up most of it (hemoglobin) is an iron-based substance.

- Contrary to the previous one, most arthropods' blood is blue because it is a copper-based substance.

- Opal is not actually a true gem, as it it formed when silica-rich waters recede and leave the silica gel to harden and form opal.

- The world's largest mountain range is underwater.

- Wingless fruit flies will have wings again three generations later (speaking from experience)

- Moray eels have two sets of jaws; one holds their prey in place while the other shreds it.

- The world's largest extinction was not actually the one that killed the dinos, but the one that occurred several billion years ago in the form of the Cambrian Extinction (over 80% of all life was wiped out)

- Goldfish, when cared for properly, can grow to the size of an american football

toucans are related to woodpeckers

komodo dragons ARE venomous. Komodo dragons have venom glands in the lower jaw and the venom causes the prey's blood pressure to drop until it goes into shock and dies.

The last time Liechtenstein deployed its army before disbanding it completely, they accidentally invaded another country. Of the 80 people they sent, they came back with 81. They made a friend along the way.

Insects, provided they don't loose too much hemolymph (their blood) upon decapitation, can live a few days without a head.

Pando, a system of Quaking Aspen, is estimated to be 80,000 yrs. old, making it one of the worlds oldest organisms. Sadly, scientists believe it is dying.
