(https://www.thenakedscientists.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Falphaomegadotme.files.wordpress.com%2F2013%2F02%2Fscivis_1.jpg%3Fw%3D640%26amp%3Bh%3D342&hash=c1920d621c394afba6d211237582b138)

I recently came across this picture which i saved, I don't know what it is but what to find some more information on it.
It is saved has "scivis 1" but when i google it i only find a visualization school.

I was interested in the shapes in what i believe is in it's mouth,

Thank you.

Thanks RD, I would never of guessed it was a carnivorous plant, as well as being home to single celled organisms,
Also great gallery, Plenty there to get me thinking. Cheers.

Utricularia, commonly and collectively called the bladderworts, is a genus of carnivorous plants. The name bladderwort refers to the bladder-like traps.
