Carnivores

Up to the middle of the 19th century it was believed that plants exclusively served as a nutritional staple to be eaten by herbivorous primary consumers.       It was Charles Darwin who published his observations on carnivorous plants in the book “Insectivorous Plants“ in 1875 – thus helping carnivory,  which had so far been dismissed as ”Botanists’ tales“, to gain recognition.
