Was it expensive (how much did it cost)?
Did you buy a seed or a plant?
Does it really catch insects like that?

Pitcher plants bought in garden centers aren't that expensive. Depending on the size it could cost from what you pay for an African violet to an orchid. If the plant is regularly offered at a store then it's probably not one of the more expensive variety.
You'll also find them being sold at centers with a more specialized section for pond plants. In such cases they usually have a number of varieties to chose from.
I have better luck at specialty pond centers and plant expos.

Yes, pitcher plants (or Sarracenias) "wait" for prey to be attracted by the sweet nectar. The rim is actually quite slippery so they fall in. Once inside, the pitchers are filled with digestive emzymes that breaks down the prey.
