@jmccyoung@mstdn.social So let me get this straight. An insectivorous plant also uses insects as pollinators.

@tokensane@mastodon.me.uk Yes! See: https://www.si.edu/stories/how-carnivorous-plants-avoid-eating-their-pollinating-insect-friends. The first point in the "how do they distinguish?" section is true with these: the flower stalk is about 18cm long and the traps are only about 1.5cm high.
