A Venus flytrap primarily attracts insects, particularly those that are small and flying, such as flies and Spiders. The plant lures these prey with its bright colors and nectar. Once an insect triggers the sensitive hairs inside the trap, it snaps shut, capturing the prey for digestion. This adaptation helps the plant obtain nutrients from the insects, which is essential for its growth in nutrient-poor soil.
