You don't feed a venus fly trap, they feed themselves. I used to have one too, keep it some where where there is a lot of flies, but they don't live for very long. Hope this helps!
EDIT:
If you keep your trap outside, it will get plenty of food itself from bugs crawling over the leaves. However, if you keep it indoors or in a greenhouse, you'll need to feed it yourself. The amount will vary on the plant, but they can go months without food. Once every couple of months at a minimum and twice a week maximum. Don't overfeed it.
Also, if the traps stop closing when you trigger them, they can't close any more - it's to do with acid growth: the cells can no longer elongate. Leave these leaves on though as they photosynthesise and will turn black once the plant no longer wants them - usually after a couple of months.

∙ 10y agoYou can feed Venus fly traps quite a lot of things, flies (obviously, that's why it is called what it is), Spiders and many other things, such as small bits of raw hamburger.
You can put it by a window eg in your bathroom. I have found that it loves it there because it has fresh, live flies from the window! It's also a good idea to have a little bowl with about 2-4 mm of water in it. (Not tap water)
You can also feed it by putting the fly/spider into the trap or you can let it catch the food all by itself. You shouldn't make it close with nothing in it very often, or it will get tired and die. So if you don't do that, your Venus fly trap will live a long time! Good luck!
You can feed them any bug, but it will also eat small (live) frogs or toads.

Nope! It is all done by pre-programmed electro-chemical responses to stimuli.
Where does stimulus occur?
Assuming you are referring to the different types of "environmental stimuli," as in biology, the answer would include many sources. All living things (organisms) respond to environmental stimuli; this is one of the seven key characteristics of living things (including evolution, order, regulation, growth and development, reproduction, and energy utilization). So, for example, our bodies can respond to physical damage by making us aware of it through our feeling of pain. The "fight or flight" response can be triggered by threatening environmental stimuli. Or, a Venus fly trap will snap shut when an insect lands in its trap.
