A carnivorous plant is the type of plant that eats bugs. Plants such as butterworts and sundews, corkscrews, flytraps and waterwheels and pitcher plants trap bugs in order to meet nutrient needs that are lacking in the poor soils where they generally grow. The first widely-circulated research on the subject of carnivorous plants was Insectivorous Plants by English naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (Feb. 12, 1809-April 19, 1882).
