"Meat Eating Flowers in Algonquin?

"Yes, there are" I said, when Christin did not readily believe that there are meat eating plants in these regions. "There is the 'Pitcher Plant" and the "Sun Dew Flower."
They prefer wet regions where there are many flies, mosquitoes and the like.

It did not take long before we found a "Pitcher Plant"
It is shaped like a jug, or a pitcher, has at its bottom a sweet smelling liquid and the inside walls are so slippery, that once an insect has found its way inside, he cannot get back out again.
We did not find the 'Sun Dew Flower' but I will add some images of it here for convenience's sake.

This tall flower, the pitcher Plant is a meat eater.

Once an insect has descended into this "pitcher" (below)

the Plants slippery inside walls prevent it from climbing back out 

and it is dissolved by the enzyme rich liquid at the bottom.

Often found on decaying logs, the 'Sun Dew Flower'

bears a very sticky liquid in droplet form on the ends of its many hairs.

Once an insect has settled on one of these, it finds it  very difficult to 

pull away. The two halves close slowly and the insect is trapped and devoured 

by this so beautiful looking predator
