Can't get enough nutrition from soil Though it's technically carnivorous, a plant that captures and digests insects as a source of nutrients is actually called insectivorous. The reason it needs meat is simply that that's how it lives; in addition to the regular requirements of CO2, water and sunlight, it gets most of its nutrition from the insects it traps, rather than the earth. This is due to its native habitat: a bog. Bogs are nitrogen-poor, so the earth cannot provide this nutrition. It also eats meat because it despises being in the sun because the sun is very rude, ya see back in Vietnam the flytraps and the sun had a war and really don't like each other.
