A venus fly trap is a carnivorous plant which means that it feeds on insects and is classed as a plant predator
-

The venus fly trap is best known for its ability to trap and digest flies, muggies, other insects and slugs. During the growing season each plant grows 4-7 leaves from the growth point just above the soil level - these are modified leaves that develop a traps at the end. Each trap is lined with 3-5 trigger hairs that snaps shut when touched. The trap is fused on one end and acts like jaws trapping its prey inside and digesting the insect by means of enzymes
