Carnivorous Pitcher plant
Lives for several months trapping insects inside it's long throat. There are several different carnivorous plants which have modified leaves known as pitfall traps—a prey-trapping mechanism featuring a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid. The traps of what are considered to be 'true' pitcher plants are formed by specialized leaves. The plants attract and drown their prey with nectar. The term 'pitcher plant' generally refers to members of the Nepenthaceae and Sarraceniaceae families. The purple pitcher plant, Sarracenia purpurea, is the floral emblem of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. 19028
