PLANTS THAT EAT INSECTS 19 These orchids are not considered insect eaters, hutthey undoubtedly draw a certain amount of nour-ishment from the decayed bodies of their insect-prey. The habits of the carnivorous plants are suchthat it is not unreasonable to suppose that it ismerely a matter of proportion that determines thesize of the prey such plants would be able to killand eat; that, in truth, were the plant of sufficientlygreat development, it might even become strongenough to kill a man. In fact, more than onetraveller reports that such a plant does exist, andis the terror of the natives where it grows. This man-eating plant grows in Nicaragua, nearLake Nicaragua, and is always found in the deepswamps. The natives have rightfully named itDevils-snare; and for horror it has no rival.This vampire-vine is not unlike the weeping willowdenuded of it
