Answer:
Foraging, flying or crawling insects such as flies are attracted to a cavity formed by the cupped leaf, often by visual lures such as anthocyanin pigments, and nectar bribes. The rim of the pitcher (peristome) is slippery when moistened by condensation or nectar, causing insects to fall into the trap.

Answer:
It has a lid over it which traps insects. It is pitcher shaped. Once the insect sits on the rim, the suction force pulls it inside. The digestive juices inside it digest it.
