You know that animals, called herbivores, feed on plants. But do you know that some plants feed on animals(insects)too?strange!!The plants that eat animals (insects)are called carnivorous plants or insectivorous plants. These plants grow in the soil which is poor in mineral. So, they eat insects to get enough nutrients. Venue flytrap,pitcher plant and sundew are insectivorous plants.
The leaves of Venue flytrap are like a trap.When an insectsits on them,the leaves snap shut quickly and traps the insect inside. They are also called snap traps.
The leaves of a pitcher plant are in the form of a pitcher with a lid.The hollow or pitcher leaves are filled with nectar to attract insects. When the insects comes to suck this nectar, the lid closes quickly and the insect is eaten by the plant.
On a sundew plant,there are tiny hair with a drop of nectar like glue which shines in sunlight. This glue attracts insects. When the insects lands on the plant,it gets stuck on glue and leaf bends inward and rolls together.
