Carnivorous plants, such as the sundew and the Venus-flytrap, are

generally found in humid areas where there is an inadequate supply of nitrogen


in the soil. In order to survive, these plants have developed mechanisms to trap
insects within their foliage. They have digestive fluids to obtain the necessary
nitrogen from the insects.
These plants trap the insects in a variety of ways. The sundew has sticky
hair on its leaves; when an insect lands on these leaves, it gets caught up in the
sticky hairs, and the leaf wraps itself around the insect.
The leaves of the Venus-flytrap function more likely a trap, snapping
suddenly and forcefully shut around an insect.
