State
A carnivorous plant, still fully photosynthetic, uses modified leaves to capture and digest insects, supplementing the nitrogen a nutrient-poor, boggy soil cannot supply.
Show
A Venus flytrap's trigger-hair leaves snap shut on contact, and secreted enzymes digest the trapped insect for its nitrogen content.
