It may not be familiar to everyone but insect-eating plants are something that we frequently meet in a science class or TV programs. We have met them only through TV programs or pictures but there are an increasing number of families by trying to plant and farm by commercial. Insect-eating plants are not scary or ugly looking, as commonly thought, but they are actually tiny and cute, so they have much tubular value. And they can be grown by the window, because they are small, and they also catch insects. Because of that, people’s interests in them have risen. They can live last for 2~3 years without eating insects, and can be feed by beef or cheese instead of insects. 

 The most famous of insect-eating plant is the Flycatcher. The action of Flycatcher snatching insects in a moment is sufficient to fascinate viewers. So Darwin, who is famous as the author of the Origin of Species, once described the Flycatcher as “one of the most wonderful plants in the world”.  To growers of insect-eating plants, which were once available only on TV, they are like lovely pets next to them.
