寬葉毛氈苔 Drosera intermedia
黏著式 the sticky “flypaper”
黏液分泌的非常旺盛,而且捕食的能力非常強,當黏到獵物時那一根根腺毛會向獵物集中,甚至葉片也會捲曲將獵物包覆其中,以增加分解吸收的速度。
The mucus is secreted abundantly, giving the plant a strong predatory ability. When prey gets stuck, the glandular hairs bend toward it, and in some cases, the leaf itself curls around the prey to enclose it, accelerating the decomposition and absorption process.



小毛氈苔 Drosera spatulata
黏著式 the sticky “flypaper”
被黏住的蟲子試圖掙扎時,腺毛受到強烈刺激進而產生感應,牽動葉片慢慢把蟲子往葉片中心包住,而此時短腺毛會分泌帶有消化酶的液體,將蟲子慢慢消化。
When the trapped insect struggles, the glandular hairs are strongly stimulated and respond by triggering the leaf to slowly curl around the prey, drawing it toward the center. At this point, the short glandular hairs secrete a liquid containing digestive enzymes, gradually breaking down the insect.



長葉茅膏菜 Drosera longifolia
黏著式 the sticky “flypaper”
有檸檬柑橘味,常會吸引鱗翅目夜蛾科的昆蟲。腺毛具有黏性,當獵物碰觸就會彎曲,以黏液消化吸收養份,只剩下翅膀和軀殼。
It has a lemon-citrus scent that often attracts moths from the Lepidoptera family. The glandular hairs are sticky and bend when prey makes contact, using mucus to digest and absorb nutrients, leaving only the wings and exoskeleton behind.



茅膏菜 Drosera
黏著式 the sticky “flypaper”
腺毛表面上這些球狀構造可分泌黏液,而這些黏液就像強力膠般可立刻黏住蟲,並且含有多醣類和酵素,能將蟲屍分解以及吸收。
The spherical structures on the surface of the glandular hairs secrete mucus, which acts like a strong adhesive, instantly trapping insects. This mucus contains polysaccharides and enzymes that help break down and absorb the insect's remains.



齒萼挖耳草 Drosera binata
吸入式 the bladder trap
獵物觸碰到開口外的感覺毛時,蓋子會突然打開,獵物就會跟水一起被吸進捕蟲囊,吸完後蓋子就關起來,然後在囊中進行消化與吸收。
When prey touches the sensory hairs outside the opening, the lid suddenly opens, causing the prey to be sucked into the trap along with the water. Once inside, the lid closes, and digestion and nutrient absorption take place within the trap.



圓葉狸藻 Drosera rotundifolia
吸入式 the bladder trap
捕蟲囊的啟動機制是需要等小蟲靠近,並碰到外面的剛毛(纖毛)才會啟動,會以極快的速度打開形成強大的負壓。將獵物吸入後將水擠出來,並且窒息而死。
The activation mechanism of the trap requires a small insect to approach and touch the outer bristles (cilia) to trigger it. The trap then rapidly opens, creating a strong negative pressure that sucks in the prey while expelling water, causing the insect to suffocate and die.



黃花狸藻 Utricularia aurea
吸入式 the bladder trap
捕蟲囊感應到水生生物接觸後,會使囊口門瞬間打開及閉合。而天線細枝和剛毛在囊口周圍排列,能有效幫助環境的物質流入捕蟲囊內,增加捕食的效率。
When the trap senses contact with an aquatic organism, its opening instantly opens and closes. The delicate antenna-like branches and bristles surrounding the trap’s entrance help facilitate the flow of substances from the environment into the trap, enhancing its feeding efficiency.



絲葉狸藻 Utricularia striatula
吸入式 the bladder trap
獵物觸碰到開口外的感覺毛時,蓋子會突然打開,獵物就會跟水一起被吸進捕蟲囊,吸完後子就關起來,然後在囊中進行消化與吸收。
When prey touches the sensory hairs outside the opening, the lid suddenly opens, causing the prey to be sucked into the trap along with the water. Once inside, the lid closes, and digestion and nutrient absorption take place within the trap.



短梗挖耳草 Drosera brevipes
吸入式 the bladder trap
當獵物經過附近且連續觸碰感應毛時,捕蟲囊開口就會打開,原來壓扁的捕蟲囊會快速膨脹回原來的形狀,過程中因負壓狀態而將附近獵物吸入,達到捕蟲的目的。
When prey passes by and repeatedly touches the sensory hairs, the trap’s opening will activate. The previously flattened trap rapidly expands back to its original shape, creating a negative pressure that sucks in nearby prey, successfully capturing it.



南方狸藻 Utricularia australis
吸入式 the bladder trap
當小蟲靠近捕蟲囊時,會因為碰觸到外面的剛毛狀分支附屬物,驅動捕蟲囊收縮機制,打開形成強大的負壓,將小蟲吸進去,提供自己生長所需。
When a small insect approaches the trap, it touches the bristle-like appendages on the outside, triggering the trap’s contraction mechanism. This creates a strong negative pressure, sucking the insect inside and providing the plant with essential nutrients for growth.



兩裂狸藻 Utricularia dichotoma
吸入式 the bladder trap
捕蟲囊蓋子上有短短的觸發毛,被觸角狀毛引誘而來的蟲子靠近後,如果碰觸到觸發毛,囊蓋會立刻打開,因負壓關係,蟲子也就會一併被吸進去了。
The trap lid has short trigger hairs. When an insect, lured by the antenna-like hairs, gets close and touches the trigger hairs, the lid immediately opens. Due to the negative pressure, the insect is swiftly sucked inside.
外來種
Invasive Species



齒狀捕蠅草
Dionaea muscipula 'Dentate'
捕獸夾式 Snap traps
葉片表面有數根觸發毛,昆蟲在五秒內觸動兩根觸發毛,葉片即進行併合動作,將昆蟲困在其中,並分解吸收其養分。
The leaf surface has several trigger hairs. If an insect touches two trigger hairs within five seconds, the leaf immediately closes, trapping the insect inside and breaking it down to absorb its nutrients.



葫蘆豬籠草
Nepenthes ampullaria
陷阱式 the pitfall
長橢圓形的具波浪狀緣的葉片為葉柄特化而成。而真正的葉片則特化成補蟲囊,用以誘捕和消化昆蟲等小生物獲取營養。
The elongated oval-shaped leaves with wavy edges are specialized petioles. The true leaves have evolved into trapping sacs, designed to lure, capture, and digest insects and other small organisms to obtain nutrients.



萊佛士豬籠草
Nepenthes rafflesiana
陷阱式 the pitfall
它的籠子內側在每天中午前後幾個小時會有不滑的時段。昆蟲就會跑到籠內採食蜜汁,等到籠內會滑時,昆蟲就會失足墜崖同時也出不來,而籠裡充滿了酵素的消化液等著將昆蟲給消化得屍骨無存。
The inner surface of its trap has a non-slippery period for a few hours around midday. During this time, insects enter the trap to feed on nectar. However, once the surface becomes slippery again, the insects lose their footing and fall inside, unable to escape. The trap is filled with digestive fluids and enzymes, which break down the insects completely, leaving no trace behind.



眼鏡蛇瓶子草
Darlingtonia californica
陷阱式 the pitfall
魚尾狀附屬物背側會分泌大量糖蜜,並散發出強烈的氣味。黃蜂及蒼蠅等昆蟲會被這種氣味吸引至瓶口。而捕蟲籠內透光的斑紋又會迷惑昆蟲,使其將這些斑紋誤認為出口而被困在捕蟲瓶內。
The fishtail-like appendages on the back secrete a large amount of nectar and emit a strong scent. Wasps, flies, and other insects are attracted to this scent and drawn to the mouth of the pitcher. Inside the trap, translucent patterns further confuse the insects, making them mistake these markings for an exit, ultimately trapping them inside the pitcher.



馬來王豬籠草 Nepenthes rajah
陷阱式 the pitfall
除了食用蟲子外,還可以捕食一些脊椎動物和小型哺乳動物,因為捕蟲籠裡會散發出糖蜜味道,捕食紀錄包括老鼠、青蛙、蜥蜴和鳥等都有掉進陷阱裡去。
In addition to consuming insects, it can also capture small vertebrates and mammals. The trap emits a sweet nectar-like scent, attracting prey. Recorded captures include mice, frogs, lizards, and even birds, which have fallen into the trap.



捕蠅草 Dionaea muscipula
捕獸夾式 Snap traps
葉緣部份含有蜜腺和齒狀的刺毛,蜜腺會分泌出蜜汁來引誘昆蟲靠近。刺毛基部則會分泌出黏液,用於防止昆蟲掙脫以及葉瓣的黏合。
The leaf edges contain nectar glands and tooth-like spines. The nectar glands secrete nectar to attract insects, while the base of the spines secretes a sticky substance to prevent insects from escaping and to aid in the adhesion of the leaf lobes.



高山捕蟲堇 Pinguicula alpina
黏著式 the sticky “flypaper”
花瓣和葉片、花莖都生有短腺毛,能分泌黏液並散發氣味誘捕獵物,成功將昆蟲黏住後,再分泌消化酶將獵物溶化吃掉。
The petals, leaves, and flower stems are covered with short glandular hairs that secrete mucus and emit a scent to attract prey. Once an insect is successfully trapped, the plant secretes digestive enzymes to dissolve and consume it.



紅色食人魚捕蠅草
Dionaea muscipula 'B52'
捕獸夾式 Snap traps
夾子的齒呈現兩邊帶觸角的短三角形形狀,像食人魚的牙齒,但未成熟的幼株特徵不明顯。
The trap's teeth are short, triangular, and have antenna-like structures on both sides, resembling a piranha's teeth. However, these features are less distinct in immature plants.



非洲螺旋狸藻 Utricularia spiralis
蝦籠式 Corkscrew traps
地下的白色條狀物則為螺旋狸藻的捕蟲迷宮,可長達十多厘米。看上去像是根部,但其實是螺旋狸藻為捕獵而進化出的變態捕蟲葉。
The underground white, thread-like structures form the trapping labyrinth of the corkscrew bladderwort, which can extend over ten centimeters. While they may resemble roots, they are actually specialized modified leaves evolved for capturing prey.
