First of all, they do NOT protect insects. They kill them and digest their juices. To enable the plant to trap them they secrete a sweet, sticky substance that attracts insects. Once the insect is attracted, the trap senses the insect and immediately snaps shut after 2 hairs are triggered. This quick movement is called a nastic movement. Such movements are done by using turgor pressure. Turgor pressure is pressure in a plant caused by water. Turgor pressure is displayed when plants are wilted from lack of water and when plants are stiff and strong when they have enough water.
Venus Flytraps should not be fed meat such as raw hamburger. Meat will eventually kill the Venus Fly Trap. The only thing a Venus Flytrap should eat is insects.
Venus Flytraps do not have a bulb
Carnivorous plants such as Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, and sundews are known for eating insects as part of their diet. These plants have adapted to nutrient-poor environments by capturing and digesting insects to supplement their nutrient intake.
no -sundews can trap flies, but sundews are members of the Genus Drosera whereas Venus Flytraps are of the Genus Dionaea. Sundews have a different technique for trapping insects, which involves using sticky dew, and using tentacles that can wrap around prey. Venus flytraps use trigger hairs to quickly snap their trap shut. Refer to related link for more information
Yes, Venus Flytraps are good at catching and eating insects.
Venus Flytraps are native to Carolina.USA.
The Venus Flytrap hunts by luring insects into the jaws of its trap. Inside the trap are glands that secrete nectar. This tricks the insect into thinking it has found a flower. The trap has small sensor hairs that are triggered by the moving insect. The sensor hairs triggering causes the trap to shut and trap the insect.
Generally not with the standard small Venus Fly traps.
Most carnivorous plants originate in soils that are deficient in natural sources of Nitrogen. Carnivorous plants (such as Venus flytraps - Dionea spp.) trap and digest insects to extract the Nitrogen (and other nutrients) from their bodies. All carnivorous plants are intolerant to artificial fertilisers which can kill them if applied.
Yes. The "trap" is a flower, and therefore the plant is an angiosperm.

Mabye the animals that are bigger than the fly trap but no
