This review based on very advanced studies partly answers the following questions: How do these perfect traps function, then kill and digest their prey? How do they provide ATP energy for these demanding physiological functions? What are the nature of the interactions between traps and the mutualistic microorganisms living inside them as commensals? In this mini-review, all of these questions are addressed from an ecophysiologist’s point of view, based on the most recent literature data and unpublished results. Inspirations for further research on this fascinating topic are also suggested.
