Answer:

They use special traps that are connected to them.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, the Venus Flytrap uses it's "mouth" to close on the fly. A sundew plant uses sticky spines to stuck to the bugs and slowly curls up and digests the bug.

Pitfall traps (pitcher plants) trap prey in a rolled leaf that contains a pool of digestive enzymes or bacteria. Flypaper traps use a sticky mucilage. Snap traps utilise rapid leaf movements. Bladder traps suck in prey with a bladder that generates an internal vacuum.
