Why do pitcher plants eat insects?

Pitcher plants eat insects as a source of nutrients, particularly nitrogen. These plants typically grow in nutrient-poor soil, so they have evolved to supplement their diet by trapping and digesting insects in their pitcher-shaped leaves. This adaptation allows them to thrive in environments where other plants struggle to survive.

What are a pitcher plants leaves adapted for?

Pitcher plants like the Venus Flytrap originate in areas where there is a deficiency of Nitrogen in the soil. In order to survive they have to supplement their requirement of Nitrogen by another means; which is the trapping and digesting of insects. Enzymes produced in the walls of the Pitcher plant help to digest any insect that may fall into the "pitcher" and become trapped. The nutrients contained in the insects are then absorbed through the walls of the pitcher to supplement its nutrient requirements.
