Yes, however some species and even some genus are under speculation as to whether they do or do not use their own digestive enzymes in the process of digestion. But for the most part, yes, they are carnivorous. Some may even be able to digest vegetable matter through their traps.

Yes, the pitcher plant is a green plant and makes its food by photosynthesis. However, it obtains some of the raw materials it needs from its diet of insects (it catches and dissolves them in a sticky liquid). Where the soil is poor, plants need an alternate source of nitrates and phosphorus,which the insects provide.
