No it does not. It has 2-3 sensor hairs in the trap so when an insect touches one, it closes but so it doesn't waste energy snapping whenever the hairs are touched because if a drop of water hits a hair it won't close two hairs must be touched or the same hair twice.
How does a Venus flt trap fly?
Venus flytraps catch insects by luring them into their trap using sweet nectar on their leaves. When an insect lands on the trigger hairs inside the trap, it quickly snaps shut due to a change in water pressure within the plant's cells, trapping the insect inside to be digested for nutrients.

How does a venus fly trap work?
A Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that catches prey by snapping its hinged trap shut when tiny hairs on its surface are triggered. When an insect lands on the trap and brushes against the hairs twice, the trap closes, sealing the insect inside and digesting it with enzymes. The plant gains nutrients from the insect to supplement its diet due to the nutrient-poor soil it grows in.

How do Venus Flytraps hunt?
