Venus Fly Trap |
||||
|
The Venus Fly Trap is a carnivorous plant, which means it catches and eats insects. If a fly lands on it, little hairs make it spring shut like a trap door. The fly is stuck in the plant and can't get out. Then the fly is digested by the plant. |

Venus Fly Traps digest the insects they trap to supplement their diet. They grow in impoverished soils and swamps. |

The Venus fly trap will only eat what it catches. It depends on its mouth to catch food. So it's of course a carnivore. |
