Nepenthes, commonly known as tropical pitcher plants, primarily attract and digest insects, such as ants, flies, and moths, that fall into their fluid-filled traps. However, certain larger animals, like frogs and small reptiles, may also utilize the pitchers as a habitat or food source. Additionally, some research suggests that certain birds and mammals might occasionally feed on the nectar or even the plant itself. Overall, these plants have evolved to capture a variety of organisms to supplement their nutrient intake.
