Best Answer

An insectivorous plant (Dionaea muscipula) of the coastal plain of the Carolinas, having sensitive, hinged, marginally bristled, two-lobed leaf blades that close and entrap insects.

It has traps and has tiny hairs (censors) on the inside of the traps. Flies and bugs are attracted to the scent of them, so when they land on a censor the trap shuts, eats, and then it will digest the fly or bug using special enzymes.
The Venus Fly Trap - is a carnivorous plant. Its leaves form two halves of a hinged 'trap'. When an insect crawls over the surface, it trips 'trigger hairs' on the leaf, which snaps shut in a split-second. The insect is then dissolved by digestive enzymes.
