VENUS FLYTRAPVenus flytrap also known as Dionaea muscipula is a carnivorous plant native to sub tropical wetland on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. The plant consumes small insects and animals as food. Venus flytrap has special lobes to trap small insects and animals.
Venus flytrap is relatively a small plant with four to seven leaves, which arise from a short subterranean stem that is actually a bulb-like object. Each stem reaches a maximum size of three to ten centimeters, depending on the time of year; after flowering, longer leaves with robust traps are usually formed.
In catching the prey, the leaves of Venus flytrap open its lobes widely. It closes its lobes immediately when the insects come in contact with the plant. This plant will digest the in sects within a time span of ten days.
