Pitcher Plant
Traps insects in a deep cavity filled with digestive liquid where they drown and are digested by enzymes.
Sundew

Butterwort
Has sticky, glandular leaves that insects stick to and are subsequently digested by enzymes excreted from the plant.
Bladderwort
Catches prey using a bladder-like trap that sucks in prey when they trigger the trapdoor mechanism.
Monkey Cup
Insects are lured into a slippery pitcher and fall into a pool of digestive fluids at the bottom, where they are digested.
Cobra Lily
Prey are lured into the twisted leaf chamber and confused by transparent areas that appear like exits. They get trapped and eventually slide down into the digestive enzymes at the bottom.
