Some plants do. They do not eat large animals, which is just as well for us. But they do trap insects and consume them. Insects provide these plants with their food. One of the most well known is the Venus fly trap. Any insect unlucky enough to crawl in triggers a mechanism in the plant which snaps it shut. The insect is trapped inside. Then juices in the plant get to work and dissolves it.
The Pitcher plant is another insect eater. It is shaped like a jug, or pitcher – which is how it got its name. Inside the plant is so rough and uneven that a trapped insect cannot crawl out again. In the end it drops exhausted to the bottom of the plant, where it is digested by the plant’s juices.
