  1. New in Guinness World Records 2021 The catapult flypaper trap Drosera glanduligera has now been included in the Guinness World Records 2021 as the fastest terrestrial predatory plant. It is actually faster than the VFT. Together with Dr. Simon Poppinga and the team of the Plant Biomechanics Group of the University of Freiburg, Irmgard and I are very happy about this great success of our common research work on the "Diva" (catapult-flypaper trap published 2012 in Plos One). Simon and the participating authors are additionally pleased, because based on the results of their experiments, the genus Utricularia (using U. australis as an example) was recorded too as the fastest aquatic predatory plant. We would like to take this opportunity to thank particulary Richard Davion (Adelaide, AUS) who was the first who reported about it, and all those who have supported us over the years in the research of snap-tentacles! If you want to see the experimental plants examined at the University of Freiburg in action, I recommend our topic "Carnivorous Plant Speed Contest":
