The Average Venus fly trap, If caught something, will take about 1-3 weeks. If the plant has not opened up by the last date possible, I suggest you take it to the place you bought it, and ask them for a new one.

It takes a few days (2) for a Venus Fly Trap to digest its food.
No, the Venus fly trap is a carnivorous plant that actively captures and digest insects for nutrients. It is not a scavenger because it does not feed on dead or decaying matter.
By enzymatic process, they "digest" the body of the insect as nourishment.
It's a plant usually called Venus Fly Trap.
Nitrogen
Yes. There is such a thing as a carnivorous plant. One example is a venus fly trap which has been known to digest bugs, such as flies.

That depends on its health. Less than a second - healthy. More than a couple of seconds - unhealthy.

Because of wet conditions or too acidic conditions of water, a Venus Fly Trap obtains energy and nutrients using specialized leaves that trap and digest insects that land on their leaves using their ability of thigmotroprism, or the action of a plant when touched. This allows them to obtain necessary nutrients they can't get from the soil they live in.
Venus flytraps trap and digest insects primarily to obtain nutrients, particularly nitrogen, which is scarce in their native, nutrient-poor soil. The rapid closure of their modified leaves, which resemble jaws, allows them to capture prey effectively. Once trapped, digestive enzymes break down the soft tissues of the insects, enabling the plant to absorb essential nutrients for growth and survival. This adaptation helps the Venus flytrap thrive in its challenging environment.
