台北陽明山、雙溪 、桃園台地及嘉義的彌陀濕地，都曾發現過食蟲植物的蹤跡，因這些地區的土壤屬於沙質 ，地下含水量頗為豐富 而水流又可以帶走許多養分，造成該處土壤極為貧瘠，在這種惡劣的環境下，一般植物因無法獲得足夠養份而無法生長 ，然而食蟲植物因可自捕蟲獲得部分元素加上競争者减少反而能成為其生存最住環境。

In places like Taipei's Yangmingshan, Shuangxi, the Taoyuan Plateau, and Chiayi's Mituo Wetland, traces of carnivorous plants have been found. This is because the soil in these areas is sandy, with a high underground water content, and the flowing water washes away many nutrients, making the soil extremely poor. In such harsh environments, most plants cannot grow due to the lack of sufficient nutrients. However, carnivorous plants can capture insects to obtain some of the necessary elements. With fewer competitors, this environment becomes ideal for their survival.
