Venus fly trap is a autotroph.
The carnivorous diet is a very specialized form of foliar feeding, and is an adaptation found in several plants from soil poor in nutrients. Their carnivorous traps were evolutionarily selected to allow these organisms to survive their harsh environments.
The only component its takes from mostly insects is nitrogen.

Yes and no. It's a heterotroph in the fact it can catch and digest animals (insects), but also an autotroph in the fact it can still photosynthesize and tap water from the soil. It's basically an autotroph with some heterotrophic tendencies.
Some carnivorous plants don't even develop their trapping structures until nutrients in the soil run out and are purely autotrophic until then. :)
