Venus Fly traps have a sort of jaw at the top of the plant. Flies often land on this "jaw", as soon as they land on the "jaw" it will snap closed and the plant will eat their prey. It is almost like how we eat our food.... Except Venus Fly traps take a few days until their prey is fully digested, then they can open their "jaw" again to have another tasty meal!
