A list of the top 5 carnivorous plants that use meat to supplement their nourishment:

1. Tropical Pitcher
The largest of the meat-eaters, the Tropical Pitcher can reach a height of 5 ft (150 cm) with pitchers a foot (30 cm) in diameter. Frogs, mice, and even small monkeys have all fallen victim. 

2. Cobra Lily
Because of poor soil, these plants must get their nourishment elsewhere. Animals are lured to its sweet nectar and become trapped searching through an endless maze of false exits.

3. Moccasin Plant
This attractive plant lures insects into its moccasin-shaped pitchers with its unique sweet fragrance, after which there is no escape.

4. Venus Flytrap
Abundant throughout the US, the Venus Flytrap captures its prey when it lands on the inside of its two hinged lobes that close once they're triggered. 

5. Bladderwort
Called the fastest plant in the world, the Bladderwort traps tiny larvae under water by use of a bubble that's triggered by its sensitive hairs.
