Mosses are small, soft plants that are typically 1-10 cm (0.4-4 in) tall, though some species are much larger. They commonly grow close together in clumps or mats in damp or shady locations. They do not have flowers or seeds, and their simple leaves cover the thin wiry stems. At certain times mosses produce spore capsules which may appear as beak-like capsules borne aloft on thin stalks. |

The plant genera Drosera (Sundews), Pinguicula , and others have leaves studded with mucilage-secreting glands, and use a " flypaper trap " to capture insects. It is also secreated around the edge of the traps in the venus flytrap and forms a water tight seals when the trap is closed. |
