Insectivorous plants are carnivorous plants.They are plants that digest insects to gain nutrients that they can't get from their soil. Carnivorous plants evolved to attract, trap and digest insects because of the area they evolved in. Many evolved in bogs or some other area with nutrient poor soil, so they only get water through their thin roots, and nothing else. Too many nutrients can clog the roots and kill the plant. Carnivorous plants also perform photosynthesis, like any other plant.
So because the soil doesn't contain nutrients, different species of carnivorous plants each evolved different ways the trap insects, and absorb the nutrients from them.
some of the examples of insectivorous plants are:
1.Tropical pitcher plants nepenthes,
2.Venus flytrap,
3.Dionaea muscipula,
4.Sundew,Drosera etc
