Natural computing has been an increasingly evolving field in the last few years. Focusing on the interesting behaviours offered by nature and biological processes, this work intends to apply the metaphor of the carnivorous plant "Dionaea muscipula" as a complementary defence system against a recurring problem regarding internet and e-mails: spam. The metaphor model presents relevant aspects for further implementation and debate.
