INSECTIVOROUS

Something which is insectivorous feeds predominantly upon insects.
Insectivorous plants and animals both occur.
Insectivorous plants are unique in their ability to digest animal protein as a source of nitrogen and are common to marshy ground where there is a shortage of nitrogen. Examples of insectivorous plants are the sundews, the butterwort, the bladderworts and the venus fly trap.
