Pitcher Plant
Pitcher plants (Sarrancenia) are highly dangerous for insects. They land on the lid of plant where short hairs give them a good foothold, however, when they crawl inside to reach the nectar glands they slip on the smooth inner surface of the pitcher into the pool at the bottom. Downward pointing hairs inside the plant prevent them from crawling out leaving the insect trapped until it dies and is digested.
