A Venus Flytrap makes its own food by photosynthesis.
To make that food, it must trap and digest insects and absorb the nutrients that are missing from the soil it grows in.
That means it is both a producer and a consumer.

∙ 11y agoYes, the Venus Flytrap has an active "trap" consisting of a modified leaf. When a small insect lands on the leaf, small actuator hairs are disturbed and the trap closes - trapping the insect. The insect is then digested and assimilated through the leaf wall by digestive enzymes that are secreted by the plant.
