The jury is still out as to whether or not Ibecella and Proboscidea are carnivorous. It could be considered carnivorous in a round about way in that it can kill small creatures that get 'caught' by a pod. It definitely can hurt but not kill cattle. It is considered a noxious weed. The flower is so stinky that the plants can't be kept in the greenhouse while in bloom.
