It is not a mouth. It is a leaf. On the leaves are trigger hairs that trigger the leaves to close. The leaves lie open in wait of prey. Then their colors attract an insect. The insect brushes against one of the hairs. It brushes against another hair and the trap closes. It can also brush against the same hair two times.

The Venus fly trap has specialized leaves with many fine hairs. These leaves look and smell like food to flies; so, they land to investigate. When they do, they brush the fine hairs, letting the plant know that an insect is there. There is a fast change in turgor pressure in special cells at the hinge of the leaf, which causes the leaf to shut. The fly is then trapped. The plant then releases enzymes that will breakdown the fly. These breakdown products are absorbed into the plant and used for growth.
