A close-up photograph shows Sarracenia leucophylla, the white pitcher plant, attracting a fly toward its tube-shaped trap. The carnivorous plant lures insects with nectar and colour before trapping them in its pitcher. The image is drawing attention from plant and nature photography enthusiasts interested in carnivorous plants and botany.
Why now: Nature photography of carnivorous plants in action appeals to botany and gardening communities
