How do Bladderworts attract their prey?

Bladderworts attract their prey using specialized structures called bladders, which are small, underwater traps that create a vacuum. When tiny aquatic organisms, such as daphnia or mosquito larvae, come into contact with the trigger hairs on these bladders, the trap quickly opens, sucking in the prey. Once captured, the bladders digest the prey using enzymes, allowing the plant to absorb nutrients. This unique mechanism allows bladderworts to thrive in nutrient-poor environments.
