Can Carnivorous Plants Eat Large Insects Like Dragonflies?

A question about whether any mature carnivorous plants regularly capture damsel flies and dragonflies.

Answer

Many Nepenthes species can capture small vertebrates – amphibians, reptiles, even rodents. Capture of small vertebrates is fairly common in cultivation. Dragonflies and damselflies are well within the prey range of larger Nepenthes pitchers.
