This plant is more interesting and bizarre than any sci-fi writer's imagination, the Wikipedia description is fascinating but also gave me the shivers: "Lloyd devoted several studies to the possibility, often recounted but never previously accounted for under scientific conditions, that Utricularia can consume larger prey such as young tadpoles and mosquito larvae by catching them by the tail, and ingesting them bit by bit."
Think of a mutant variety of this plant with 1m bladders: it can trap a swimmer and ingest them over the course of a few days! I wonder if there's a theoretical limit to how big they can get.
