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.
Herbivorous insects constrain plant reproduction, and the predation that the bats produce allow for the plants to once again reproduce properly. Herbivory has an impact on the health, structure, and diversity of the plant and soil communities,as well as the productivity of important crops.
