Carnivorous plant fossil trapped in amber

Rare fossils of a carnivorous plant have been found preserved in a piece of Baltic amber.  The find has shed light on the origins of a plant that traps its food using leaves that act like fly paper.  The rare fossils date back to between 35 and 47 million years ago, during the Eocene.
