Butterwort is a type of carnivorous plant belonging to the genus Pinguicula. It is known for its flat, sticky leaves that trap and digest small insects, providing essential nutrients for the plant. Butterworts thrive in nutrient-poor environments, such as bogs and wetlands, where they can absorb nutrients from their prey. These plants typically have attractive, often colorful leaves and produce delicate flowers. Butterworts can be found in various regions around the world, including North America and Europe. They are popular among plant enthusiasts and are sometimes cultivated in gardens for their unique appearance and insect-catching abilities.
