How Carnivorous Pitcher Plant Catches Insects

Sir David Attenborough looks at the carnivorous pitcher plant and how

The shape may vary from
species to species but all attract their prey with nectar, have
slippery sides so their visitors tumble into them, and contain fluid
whose juices actively dissolve the bodies.
