Expert Answer
These plants are deficient in nitrogen, hence obtain it by capturing and digesting small insects.
Example - Pitcher plants, Venus flytrap
In Venus flytrap, when an insect crawling on the leaf touches a hair, the two parts of leaf snap shut thereby trapping the creature.
In pitcher plant, a syrupy juice is present in which the insect may drown and the closing lid prevents its escape.
