It survives in wet sandy and peaty soils. Although it has been successfully transplanted and grown in many locales around the world, it is found natively only in North and South Carolina in the United States
The Venus flytrap has some sort of digestive system.
First, it lures its victim with sweet-smelling nectar. Unsuspecting prey land on the leaf and trip on the bristly trigger hairs and find themselves imprisoned behind the interlocking teeth of the leaf edges.
There are between three and six trigger hairs on the surface of each leaf. If the same hair is touched twice or if two hairs are touched within a 20-second interval, the cells on the outer surface of the leaf expand rapidly, and the trap snaps shut instantly.
If insect secretions, such as uric acid, stimulate the trap, it will clamp down further on the prey and form an airtight seal. Once the trap closes, the digestive glands that line the interior edge of the leaf secrete fluids that dissolve the soft parts of the prey, kill bacteria and fungi, and break down the insect with enzymes to extract the essential nutrients. These nutrients are absorbed into the leaf, and five to 12 days following capture, the trap will reopen to release the leftover exoskeleton.
the venus fly trap has a sticky substance layered on the inside of the flower. this is what attracts the insect. the insect land on the flower and is not stuck to it. the flower closes trapping the prey inside.

Insects such as ants do not have backbones. They are called invertebrates.
why would people eat venus fly traps, the fly traps eat insects.
Its leaves fold together (like a closing book) to trap insects.
No, Venus Fly Traps do not eliminate aphids.Specifically, the plant in question (Dionaea muscipula) is a carnivore that includes insects among its prey. By consuming insects, a Venus Fly Trap makes up for a lack of nutrients in the soils in which it tends to grow. But aphids (Aphidoidea superfamily) mature to sizes that are too small for Venus Fly Traps to consume.
Venus fly traps are carnivorous plants that capture, kill and eat their food. The Venus fly trap is a bulb plant, and the traps themselves develop from flowers.
A venue fly trap is a carnivorous plant that eats insects.
its mouth has sharp teeth and it doesn't basically eat the insect it kill the fly and eats part by part
