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.
A common mistake is to call the plants insectivorous, however, as the plants are capable of digesting many more things other than insects (eg: mollusks such as slugs, avians such as humming birds, arachnids such as spiders, and mammals such as small mice) their proper title is carnivorous plant.
