In the murky depths of a nearby pond,a tadpole unwittingly swims into the path of the bladderwort,the speediest of all carnivorous plants.She treads on the bladderwort’s trigger,and in milliseconds,a trapdoor swings open and sucks her in.Trapped half in and half out,she struggles to free herself while the part of her body inside the plant gets digested.Over the next few hours,her writhing sets the trap off repeatedly,each time bringing her deeper into the plant to be digested alive bit by bit.
