Venus fly-trap
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
The Venus fly-trap (or Venus flytrap, Venus' flytrap, Venus's-flytrap) (Dionaea muscipula) is a plant that grows in the U.S. states of North and South Carolina. It is different from most plants because it does not just get food from the soil, it is also an insectivore (it can eat insects and other flying bugs). When people keep it in their house they can also feed it meat, because it is a carnivore (it can eat parts of any animal).
Part of the Venus flytrap smells like a flower to attract insects. When an insect lands there, the flytrap closes its leaves around the insect to trap it. It then uses fluids to turn it into food.
