Are there plants that eat bugs?

Professor Gizmo (Amazing Science Presentations) gives expert video advice on: Are there plants that eat bugs?; How old is the world's oldest tree and how do we know?; Why does fruit ripen? and more...

There are some plants that are carniverous. Some plants have a very putrid smell, and they'll attract insects. Some of them trap the insects by having them get stuck in a fluid. Some of them actually close like the Venus Flytrap; it has hairs in there which trigger the plant, and causes it to close over the fly or mosquito or whatever bug happens to get in there. They use that protein to survive. A lot of those plants live in an area such a bog where there isn't much in the way of nitrogen. So, eating bugs is their source of nitrogen, too.
