Epazia: love this one! well done! Evil plants my speciality (2 years and 229 days ago)
Pat: Can it be a mushroom, I don't want to take any flack! (2 years and 227 days ago)
bluefly: Yes it can be any fungi or fungus because they are parasitic in nature. (2 years and 226 days ago)
carousel: i see several submitted photos about plants that not really attack something or someone. is it enough if the plant looks scary? (2 years and 226 days ago)
carousel: no answer, so i think it is enough if the plant looks scary on the photo (for example an aloe). not necessary to catch when the plant attacks something or someone. (2 years and 224 days ago)
bluefly: Do not post just any picture with a plant, unless you consider it evil! so I guess if it looks like it can bite then it's ok. (2 years and 223 days ago)

blue evil - created by Alexandra

final rank: 3 out of 44 (final score: 52.8 %)

this is a special type of Ageratum from the Asteraceae family. it attracts insects with it's tart sweet scent, reminds a mix or pink plum wine and honey. when the victim gets on it, the plant immediately lets out sticky substance which captures the bug/butterfly etc. and doesn't let go. the plant absorbs all juices from the insect and later the wind blows away the dry body
