Answers
Explanation:
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. These plants are called Insectivorus planys
Foraging, flying or crawling insects such as flies are attracted to a cavity formed by the cupped leaf, often by visual lures such as anthocyanin pigments, and nectar bribes. The rim of the pitcher (peristome) is slippery when moistened by condensation or nectar, causing insects to fall into the trap.
