These Plants Are Masters of Mimicry, Don't Eat Them!

Some plants out there have mastered the art of mimicry, and they're not to be messed with! Take the corpse flower, for example—it emits an odor that smells like rotting flesh to attract pollinators. Then there's the Venus flytrap, which lures in unsuspecting insects with sweet nectar before snapping shut and devouring them. Another tricky character is the pitcher plant, which uses its pitcher-shaped leaves to trap and digest insects. So, if you ever come across these sneaky plants in the wild, it's probably best to admire them from a safe distance—eating them definitely isn't on the menu!
