The term for plants that eat insects is "carnivorous plants." These fascinating plants have adapted to nutrient-poor environments where they supplement their nutrient intake by trapping and digesting insects and other small animals. There are several well-known varieties, including the Venus flytrap, pitcher plants, and sundews. Each of these plants uses various trapping mechanisms, such as sticky mucilage or modified leaves that snap shut, to capture prey. Carnivorous plants have intrigued botanists and nature enthusiasts alike, showcasing the incredible diversity and adaptability of plant life in challenging habitats.
