Butterworts (Pinguiculas) are 'carnivorous' plants that trap small insects on their sticky leaves and harvest the nitrates from their bodies. They really don't 'eat' insects since 'eating' implies that energy is obtained from the insects. They need the nitrates because the bog soils where they grow are deficient in nitrates.
