This tiny purple flower may not seem spooky at first, but it’s hiding a murderous secret... Littering the pale green leaves of the butterwort plant are tiny insects, slowly being digested in thick, sticky juices.

So tell all your hungry insect friends to beware... or they may become the meal! 📸 Rob Routledge, Sault College, Bugwood.org Alt text: Bright violet common butterwort (Pinguicula vulgaris) flowers sit perched amongst soil and grasses with its light green leaves littered with tiny insects. #NPSSpookyPlants #NPSHalloween #Eekcology #SpookyEEKcology #FindYourPark #EncuentraTuParque #Alaska #NPS
