Everyone has heard of the Venus Flytrap. They are one the most common carnivorous plants available for growing at home. This plant, of the aldrovanda genus, is one the most rare to horticulture. It is fully an aquatic plant and one of the only carnivorous plants to feed exclusively on aquatic animals and water bugs. It is found in various parts of Africa, Europe and in a few places in Africa. It thrives best in Australia, where it is an introduced species (introduced species of anything, usually thrive in that new environment, because there are not natural checks on their behavior, and they quickly become, at best, a nuisance and at worst a threat to their new found environment).
