One of the plants famous for being a carnivorous plant is the climbing pitcher plant. It has a very unique appearance and characteristics among plants, and the illustration focuses on its pitcher-shaped insect traps. This trap originates from a part of the leaf, and by emitting pheromones from the lid of the trap, it attracts insects, which become part of its nutrient source as they are digested in the fluid inside the pitcher.
