These plants are specialized in trapping insects and are popularly known as insectivorous plants.
They are very different from normal plants in their mode of nutrition. They, however, never prey upon humans or large animals.
Insectivorous plants can broadly be divided into active and passive types based on their method of trapping their prey.
The active ones can close their leaf traps the moment insects land on them.
The passive plants have a ‘pitfall’ mechanism, having some kind of jar or pitcher-like structure into which the insect slips and falls, to eventually be digested.
The insectivorous plants often have several attractions such as brilliant colors, sweet secretions and other curios to lure their innocent victims.
