How does the nepenthes rajah kill its prey?
When an insect such as a fly or bee lands on the 'lips' of the nepenthes, they provide an uneven foothold. Of course the insect could just fly away but the nectaries containing the nectar make the plant smell irresistible to them. The inside 'walls' of the nepenthes are either very sticky or very slippery, so either way, the nepenthes has a high chance of catching its prey. When the insect slips off the wall, reaction time is extremely small and the insect falls in the liquid at the bottom of the nepenthes which may either be thick or thin like water (the nepenthes provides its own liquid so don't put water in the 'cups'). When the insect falls into the liquid, the plants' bacteria start breaking down the insect's exoskeleton and the bottom of the nepenthes sucks in the nutrients of the insect. When the nepenthes in finished with its meal (which may take weeks) all that is left is the carcass of the unfortunate insect.
