Trying to escape certain death.

Once within the pit the nightmare begins. Prey could only hope for a quick drowning. Those that cling to an edge to get a breath will spend the rest of their existence trying to get past the wall of needle-like hairs. These ants now belong to the Sun Pitcher.

Putting your hand in this, or any other pitfall carnivorous plant like pitcher plants, does nothing more than wet your hand. The digestive enzymes work very slowly. Insects drown and form a slow-release fertilizer for the plant. They don't digest like animals with strong acids, they use very weak acids and enzymes.
