There are hundreds of species of plants which are truly carnivorous or insectivorous. There are only two species of plant which trap arthropods using a "snap trap" method of enclosing leaves around prey; the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) and the Waterwheel plant (Aldrovanda vesiculosa) which is aquatic.
Other well-known carnivorous plants are sundews (which trap insects with sticky hairs), Pitcher Plants (which use slippery sided, pitcher shaped leaves as pit falls) and Bladderworts (which suck creatures into little ballon-like sturctures under water).
