Pitcher plants

Most of the time plants are the ones that get eaten. So when the plants get eaten they come up with revenge. Some plants are carnivores which means that they eat meat but definitely not steak. They are happy to feast on the bug that crosses their path. Pitcher plants are shaped like a pitcher or narrow champagne glass and they also look like a jug. The top and inside of the pitcher is covered with a sweet smelling juicy nectar. When the insects come they take a sip and then they fall into the pitcher and down down they go.  There the plant breaks them down, the plant excrete a liquid that squish them to pieces. Some pitcher plants are large that they can catch and eat rats or frogs alive. Most carnivorous plants live in boggy places and lives in wet soil that do not have lots of nutrients. Carnivorous plants are exotic, but most of them grow in the US than anywhere else. Some people take carnivorous plants from the wild and grow them in their backyard. Would you like to have them in your backyard?
