Predation Examples
As stated in the previous blog post, predation is is a biological interaction/symbiotic relationship that incorporates the preying of one species or organism preying on another species or organism.
The first example of predation in plants and animals that I would like to discuss is the Venus flytrap and the fly. (Look at the picture below)

The Venus Flytrap, instead of creating its own food, it waits in search of flies to land on itself, and then it closes up and eats the flies that land on the plant. This is an example of predation primarily due to the fact that the Venus Flytrap eats the flies.
The second example of predation in plants and animals that I would like to discuss is the Japanese Beetles and the tree leaves. (look at the picture below)

The Japanese beetle and the tree leaves is an example of predation primarily due to the fact that the beetle receives nutrients and food from the tree leaves, as the tree is majorly affected. The beetle is eating the tree leaves therefore shortening the life of the tree/bush/plant.
