Pitcher plants face various enemies, including herbivores like insects and mammals that may feed on their leaves or flowers. Additionally, they are susceptible to fungal infections and bacterial pathogens that can damage their tissues. Competition with other plants for resources can also pose a threat, as well as environmental challenges like habitat destruction. Predators such as ants and certain birds may also exploit the insects trapped within the pitcher.
Pitcher plants are vascular plants.

Pitcher plants are called pitcher plants because they have 'pitchers' at the ends of their stems. The pitcher has digestive fluid in it with a sweet smell that attracts insects. The insects fly/crawl in and get trapped inside when the pitcher plant closes. They are then digested in the fluids in the "pitcher". Pitcher as in a jug or cup, not as in baseball pitcher but I think you knew that.
