Venus Fly Trap

The Venus Flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey—mostly insects and arachnids. The plants common name refers to the Roman goddess of love, Venus, whereas the genus name refers to Dione.

Its trapping structure is formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect crawling along the leaves comes into contact with one or more of the hairs twice in succession, the trap closes. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against a waste of energy in trapping objects with no nutritional value.

Food: Beetles, spiders, other crawling anthropods

Habitat:  mostly found in nitrogen-and-phosphorus-poor environment, such as bogs and savannahs
