Native Carnivorous Plants of Egypt: Three Utricularia Species

A query about Egyptian carnivorous plants, specifically a bladderwort in Lake Borollus confused with Potamogeton.

Confirmed Species

Only three native carnivorous plants occur in Egypt: Utricularia gibba, U. inflexa, and U. stellaris. Many North African countries (Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait) have none. The described "bladder sucking water and insects" matches Utricularia. Exact locations require local research or literature searches.
