I have one as well  
They are the most common pitcher plant but I’m sorry to say I do not know the name of it

How do you feed those? I’m assuming the trap is like putting a lid on a bottle?

i don’t know how to feed them, but i’ve heard that carnivorous plants don’t require insects, they just benefit from them.  
I think they work by having a sweet nectar on the flap that attracts bugs, and then they fall into the tube where they are trapped and consumed

Ik how to feed them!  
The top part doesn’t actually move, it’s just there to keep water from getting inside.  
I wouldn’t feed it bugs since it’s quite difficult.  
I forget the name but there are liquid food for them that you put inside. Works better than bugs
