Some plants eat insects because they don't get enough of nitrogen from the soil and to regulate the amount of nitrogen they eat insects. Theseplants are called Insectivorus plants.
Carnivorous pitcher plants of the genusNepenthes capture prey with a pitfall trap that relies on a micro-structured, slippery surface. The upper pitcher rim (peristome) is fully wettable and causes insects to slip by aquaplaning on a thin water film.
