Which plants can eat insects?
|
Some plants grow in places where they cannot get all the nutrients they need from the soil. To increase their supply, they trap and digest insects. The Venus-flytrap has leaves shaped like jaws that close around a fly when it alights. The leaves of the pitcher plant make a slippery-sided trap with digestive juices at the bottom. Insects fall in and are digested. | | The Venus flytrap and the pitcher plant are insect eaters. |
