Deadly leaves

Bill Oddie finds lots of tiny flowers around the edges of a bog pool. He also finds butterwort - very pretty but wait for the gory, horrible truth! These are carnivorous plants. The leaves close over flies that land on them and the plant then sucks the victim dry. Bill unrolls the leaves to show us little dessicated fly bodies. Worth getting his knees wet to see!
