🧩 Riddle time!
I snap when I’m hungry, with petals so bright,
I thrive in the swamp and shun the sunlight.
With diners that flutter, and insects I catch,
What plant am I? (Can you make the match?)
If your guess was “a carnivorous plant,” you’re in for a treat.

Readers love its clear guidance and joyful tone. With a glowing 4.8 out of 5 stars from seven reviews, it’s as loved as it is leafy.
