| insectivorous plants (related carnivorus plants) |
| Insectivorous plants are found mainly in swamps and bogs of tropical and temperate regions. The soils they live in is very low in nitrogen. To obtain this nitrogen they have evolved insect trapping leaves. These leaves not only capture the insect but they digest it getting the necessary nitrogen. Plants such as Pitcher Plants, Sundews, Bladderworts and the ever popular Venus Fly trap are all members of this group. |
