A carnivorous plant is the type of plant that eats bugs. Plants such as butterworts and sundews, corkscrews, flytraps and waterwheels and pitcher plants trap bugs in order to meet nutrient needs that are lacking in the poor soils where they generally grow. The first widely-circulated research on the subject of carnivorous plants was Insectivorous Plants by English naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (Feb. 12, 1809-April 19, 1882).

Carnivorous plants eat bugs.

Specifically, these plants trap bugs in order to meet nutrient needs that are lacking in the poor soils in which they generally grow. Among the best known examples of carnivorous plants are butterworts and sundews; corkscrews; flytraps and waterwheels; and pitcher plants. The first widely-circulated research on the subject of carnivorous plants was "Insectivorous Plants" by English naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 - 19 April 1992).

Aphids eat leaves, and some ladybugs, and I also believe that larvae eat leaves and plants.
