Scientists identify an insect-eating plant that just proved Charles Darwin's 150-year-old theory right
- A breakthrough in plant science has validated Charles Darwin's historic conjecture surrounding carnivorous Saxifraga species.
- Researchers discovered that these plants ensnare small gnats with sticky hairs, emitting fragrances that lure their prey.
- Chemical tests confirmed that insects provide essential nutrients upon capture, as showcased by isotope labeling.
