It's a carnivorous plant that eats bugs. Plants tend to meet their nutrient needs naturally through what's available in the soil. But carnivorous plants tend to grow in nutrient poor and infertile environments. So they meet nutrient needs through the nutrients that are released in digesting protein and nutrient rich bugs.

Examples include sundew [Drosera spp], pitcher [Sarracenia spp], monkey cup [Nepenthesspp], flytrap [Dionaea spp], cobra [Darlingtonia spp] and bladderwort [Utricularia spp] plants.
