The image is from the species Nepenthes and not Sarracenia. Both are pitcher plants, but there are differences in their geographical distribution as well as their pitchers, microflora used, etc etc. Sarracenias also have a variety of pitchers, specifically sarracenia purpurea has pitchers that are low on the ground and fatter, in contrast to the more "stereotypical" sarracenias that have long and thin pitchers.
