Pitcher plant uses falling rain to trap insects. It's a rainy day in the jungles of Borneo, and an ant has taken shelter from the falling drops by clinging to the underside of a leaf. It has chosen poorly. Its shelter is the 'lid' of a pitcher plant, and it hangs over a living vase full of digestive fluids.

Answer:
Its shelter is the 'lid' of a pitcher plant, and it hangs over a living vase full of digestive fluids. As rain pummels the jungle, a drop lands on the lid and flicks off the ant underneath. The insect falls into the pool of fluid and is consumed by the plant.
