Picture of a Sarracenia with many mouths, one of them being extremely long. There’s also a banana for scale

    Indeed! And very effective!

    I use this one to catch flies and a sundew to catch smaller bugs. They make a great team

        Pitcher plants and sundews aren’t nearly as picky as fly traps. Those things evolved in a very particular environment, whereas pitchers and sundews are more forgiving.

        I kayak the local swamp, and sundews and pitchers go nuts in everyday direction of light. Serious. I was trying to judge which direction they thrived in, don’t matter. They grow robustly on every side of the stumps, north, south, shady, full sun, whatever. Just gotta stay wet(ish)!
