no. it still does photosynthesis to provide its own energy which is the very definition of an autotroph. it catches insects to provide nitrogen which most plants find in the soil and not as a sourse of energy like a heterotroph. of course you could argue that this is some form of heterotrophy but that is a philosophical debate on definitions.
