no -sundews can trap flies, but sundews are members of the Genus Drosera whereas Venus Flytraps are of the Genus Dionaea.

Sundews have a different technique for trapping insects, which involves using sticky dew, and using tentacles that can wrap around prey. Venus flytraps use trigger hairs to quickly snap their trap shut.

What similarities does a Venus fly trap and a sundew have in common?

Both the Venus flytrap and sundew are carnivorous plants that have evolved to capture and digest insects for nutrients. They attract prey using unique mechanisms; the Venus flytrap employs hinged leaves that snap shut when triggered by unsuspecting insects, while the sundew uses sticky glandular hairs on its leaves to trap prey. Additionally, both plants thrive in nutrient-poor environments and have adapted to supplement their diets through these insect-catching strategies.
