Venus fly trap and butterworts







some pictures of Venus fly trap and butterworts...both plants that eat insects to get extra protein...Venus fly trap have "feelers" on on the red patches..so it an insect fly and touch it 3 or more times...it will snap and eat it upp...why 3? because it is an adaptation of the plant..imagine it is once...when the wind blows...it will close....and further more, each trap can only close 6 times before it refuse to open anymore....butterworts on the other hand has waxy leaves that wil attract insects..but once an insect lands, the waxy surface actually posion the insect and slowly digest it...



i found these 2 interesting plants inside the general biology lab...i think next time i shall explore more...who knows what i might find there....lol


talking abt general biology lab..i meet this nice girl from social work...her name is alexis...the funny thing is when she asked for my name, she was really surprised that my name is titus...(cos she is a catholic and the name is from the bible)...inside my mind i was thinking "hah, i bet u never heard such a name with so much seh"..then when she mention her name i was abit shocked..she got such a "seh" name also..then we burst out laughing...haha..


enough of labs, i have been feeling pretty tired recently..jus keep sleeping and resting whenever i have the time...and despite all the sleeping, i still have dark rings....lol....must be the age thing..




time to hit the bed...tomorrow is going to be one siong day...


i miss you like crazy....
