Man Eating Plant Creatures from Outer Space

DANGER! Don't touch that! Finger loss risk
MAN EATING PLANT CREATURES FROM OUTER SPACE
Perhaps, but today we are pondering the Venus Fly Trap, a plant that can eat raw meat. When did plants on Earth develop the taste for meat and perhaps the desire for flesh of large worms, arachnids and other insects?

Buy these plants at the flower market, but don't buy a big one! (unless you have a friend that can periodically check the belly of the plant if you go missing)


Hungry Venus Fly Trap eats hamburger
The process appears to have happened through evolution, when a specific type of plant could no longer find enough nourishment through the soil and then began to absorb nutrients through its plant body parts.

These plants are small now and take years to grow to maturity, but some bigger varieties inspire the imagination as to what their hefty appetites might consume.

It's interesting to note, during the day, the plants open their mouths to eat, but during the night, the mouths will close so they can sleep. This plant has eight hungry mouths.

Classified Leaked Documents - Rocket Crew Compartment

CLASSIFIED LEAKED DOCUMENTS FROM THE MICRO SPACE PROGRAM 

INSECT ASTRONAUT ROCKET CREW COMPARTMENT
DINKY LEAKS FROM THE MICRO SPACE PROGRAM

The classified design for the G-Force cushioning shock absorbers in the Micro Space Rocket for insect astronauts is dinky leaked to the public.

The spring action of the cotton wad located below the crew floor is the secret key mechanism to enabling a less stressful rocket flight for the insect astronaut inhabitants and ensuring their survival during heavy G forces. The cabin design for rapid in and extrusion plus periods of weightless at the zero-g moment ensures a protective capsule environment for occupants. The structure is zero cost, made from common household items, and easily replaceable if damaged during use. Not shown is an added shock absorber at the top of the crew capsule compartment. Some experiments had side wall shock absorbers as well although these were primarily for the tumbling during the return flight. The vertical scale line at left in the design drawing, with end arrows, is indicative of a distance of about 3-inches. Not shown is the vertical insertion fuel rod or gantry extension. Also not shown is the flexible fuel containment for deployment. The MSR was improved at three levels.
