INSECTIVOROUS PLANTS. An insectivorous plant, also called a carnivorous plant, captures prey items, such as insects, spiders, crustaceans, mites, and protozoans, as a nitrogen source.
Insectivorous plants trap insects and arachnids and digest them for nutrients; an unusual behavior for a plant. Species of insectivorous plants include the Venus flytrap, some varieties of pitcher plants, butterworts, and sundews.
