Carnivorous Wildflower
These yellow flowers belong to the Bladderwort which is an aquatic plant with a network of tiny bladders near the surface of the water. There are trigger hairs around the bladders which when set off will suck minute crustaceans into the bladder which closes and absorbs nutrients from these organisms trapped inside.
