Searching, flying or creeping creepy crawlies, for example, flies are pulled in to the cavity framed by the measured leaf, frequently by visual draws, for example, anthocyanin shades, and nectar rewards. The edge of the pitcher (peristome) is elusive when soaked by buildup or nectar, making creepy crawlies fall into the trap.

Answer:
1. In pitcher plant the leaf is modified to form a pitcher like structure.
2. When an insect sits on the pitcher of the plant, the lid closes and the insect gets trapped inside the pitcher.
3. The insect is then digested by the enzymes secreted by the cells of the plants.
