Is a Venus Flytrap grown on Venus?
No , it is not grown on Venus because,The name "Venus" refers to the goddess of Love. Many people often say that love is a trap because people will do anything for it, and in this case, it is a deadly one! It is not people who are in love this time, but the poor little insects. Most Venus flytraps emit a smell which is extremely appealing to flies and other bugs, even small animals such as frogs. However, when they get just a bit too close, they trigger little hairs on the inside of the trap and it snaps shut. What seemed so alluring just moments ago, now has brought those insects to their death. I can only suppose that the person who named the plant did not have very good experiences with love!
