The pitcher plant is an interesting plant. Take a look at the picture. The plant has the shape of a pitcher.
The pitcher plant is interesting because it eats meat. Pitcher plants catch and eat insects. Insects love the sweet liquid inside the plant. They climb in, and cannot climb out again. Then the plant slowly eats them.
Pitcher plants have different sizes. The biggest can hold almost one liter of water. The smallest are so small that it's difficult to see them.
People often ask if these plants can eat human meat. The answer is "yes", but they can only eat it slowly and in very small amounts. But a person is not likely to fall inside the plant. It's not big enough even for the smallest child. So, there's no need to worry!
