Insectivorous plants like Pitcher plants are autotrophs only, because they have chlorophyll and can produce thier own food. They can fullfill their nourishment, They don't feed on insects for their food, Instead their is an other reason....!

The Insectivorous plants generally grows in Nitrogen(N2) soil, We know that Nitrogen is a very important nutrient for plants. That's why to obtain the required Nitrogem, they feed on the insects and other small animals.

Pitcher plants are weird looking plants, becuase their leaves look like pitcher(an earthern pot with long neck). This is how they trap the insects. The Weird shape and attarctive colours of Pitcher Plant attarcts the insects or other small animals and when they sit upon the pitcher, the pitcher gets close and the mucous and hair inside it, traps the insects. Then the enzymes or other digesting substances secreted in the body of pitcher plant, digest the Insects and obtain its required N2. Many other substances are formed like amino acids etc. Due to this kind of Nutrition, these plants are known as Carnivorous plants or Insectivorous plants.
