Venus Flytraps eat flies and insects because their environment resulted in the need for nutrients contained in them. They adapted to that environment and developed the traps for catching flies.

Plants create their own energy through photosynthesis and are able to absorb nutrients from the soil. Plants, such as the Venus Flytrap, seem to "eat," but this is due to the low amount of nutrients that they are able to absorb from the soil they live in.
