Swollen Bladderwort (Utricularia inflata) photographed from the Maul Hammock shelter in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge. Swollen Bladderwort is a carnivorous plant that has “seed-like bladders, used to trap invertebrates, from which the plant gains nutrients. Trap doors on the bladders are triggered by the invertebrate, which is sucked inside and digested by enzymes.”
