in the world. When you are finished, choose two of the plants from the list. On your blog,
list three similarities and three differences between the two plants that you chose.
To earn five extra bonus points, post a picture of both plants on your blog.

I chose the two plants called the venus flytrap and the pitcher plant.

Simlarities                                                                  

1)The venus flytrap consumes flies and the pitcher plant can consume mice so they both
consume something.
2) Both of these two plants are carnivorous. That means both of the plants eats small insects
and animals as food.
3) They are both very hard to find and really rare.

Differences

1) A difference is that the venus flytrap catch their prey by closing their lobes when a insect
comes in contact with the plant then opens and sucks it in. The pitcher plant has this special
type of fluid inside of it that attracts their prey.
2) Both of these plants looks very different. The pitcher plant looks like a sack hanging from a
stem and the venus fly trap looks like a noxious weed that has a comb on the end.
3)The venus flytrap is safe to your pets and the pitcher plant can cause harm to your pets.
