It is not a mouth. It is a leaf. On the leaves are trigger hairs that trigger the leaves to close. The leaves lie open in wait of prey. Then their colors attract an insect. The insect brushes against one of the hairs. It brushes against another hair and the trap closes. It can also brush against the same hair two times.

Yes of course what do you think the traps are. If that is what you asked
The Venus Flytrap ranges in size and height according to their environment. Flower stalks can reach 14 inches and the leaves up to 4.5 inches, including the trap of up to 1.5 inches.
Venus Flytraps can determine whether it's prey is living or not. This is why the trap won't close due to rain but if the prey is determined living it will close in about 0.1 seconds.
Yes, it will. Just be patient. It is.
It is haré to answer so shut up

They snap shut because they have sensors that will make the trap snap shut when they are disturbed. The reason why they snap shut is because of turgor pressure which is pressure that is built up in the cell walls of the plant from water.
When a fly touches one of the tiny hairs, the trap automatically gets triggered to shut.
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, specifically within a 60 mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina. [15] One such place is North Carolina's Green Swamp. There also appears to be a naturalized population of Venus Flytraps in northern Florida as well as populations in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
A Venus Flytrap plant uses a modified leaf. The leaf snaps shut so the prey can not escape. Then the digestive juices begin to digest the prey while it is still alive. The plant behaves like a spider.
If two trigger hairs are touched by an insect inside one of its traps, the trap will snap shut.
It adapted to its surroundings by becoming a carnivorousness plant because where it was growing it had poor soil. It has tinny hairs and when a bug walks along its mouth it ca feel the vibrations and it will shut and not open for 2-5 days so it can digest the bug.
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
Venus flytraps have small sensors or hair that line the inside of the plant. When the fly lands on the plant it snaps shut and the fly can not escape. Try this out: Stick your finger in the flytrap don't worry you will be able to escape though.
Those are called 'triggering hairs' that do exactly what it says on the tin! They 'trigger' any movement that enters the leaf, and cause it to shut like a trap, hence the name, Venus "Flytrap".
1/30 of a second
they have hairs inside its 'mouth' which when touched trigger the snapping shut of the 'jaws'. for this snapping action to take place 2 of the hairs must be touched within a 30 second interval, this means that falling objects and breezes do not trigger the snapping action without a fly in its 'jaws' and thus saving energy.
Duct tape her mouth shut.
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.

The Venus fly trap has specialized leaves with many fine hairs. These leaves look and smell like food to flies; so, they land to investigate. When they do, they brush the fine hairs, letting the plant know that an insect is there. There is a fast change in turgor pressure in special cells at the hinge of the leaf, which causes the leaf to shut. The fly is then trapped. The plant then releases enzymes that will breakdown the fly. These breakdown products are absorbed into the plant and used for growth.
