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.
As major insect pests of many crop and ornamental plants, leaf miners tunnel their way through a wide range of plant species. With over 300 species of leaf miners worldwide, there are five considered to be serious horticultural pests: Vegetable leaf miner (Liriomyza sativae) Tomato leaf miner (Liriomyza bryoniae) Chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina) Serpentine leaf miner (Liriomyza huidobrensis) American serpentine leaf miner (Liriomyza trifolii)
