What is Killer Plants about?

Plants may look quiet and harmless, but some have evolved surprising ways to catch, poison or overpower other living things. Discover how Venus flytraps, pitcher plants and sundews trap insects, how the corkscrew plant captures tiny creatures underground, and how dodder steals food from neighbouring plants. You will also learn about the dangerous angel’s trumpet and the clever adaptations that help these unusual plants survive. Packed with fascinating facts, this book reveals the darker side of the plant world.
