Is a Venus Fly Trap a carnivore?

Answer 1

In cinema and film, Venus flytraps eat people. However, in real life Venus flytraps do not reach a size that would allow them to consume or digest a human. The process is too slow and their "jaws" are not large enough.

Answer 2

Fly traps can digest certain types of meat. However, they do have to be tricked into closing their traps on the food.

The inside of the "trap" has a number of small hairs, these have to be bumped a few times (not just once) before the trap closes; this is how the plant "knows" that there is potentially food (an insect) in the trap.

Soft meats such as mince should be used, not stringy meats like chicken. Remember of course only to use very small pieces (about the size of a match head), else the meat will decompose and start smelling (and of course attract real flies!)

Answer 3

Yes, a Venus Fly Trap is a carnivorous plant that captures and digests insects as a source of nutrients, particularly in nutrient-poor environments like wetlands or bogs. Its trap contains sensitive hairs that trigger the closing mechanism when an insect lands on them.

Well, I once fed a venus fly trap a piece of chicken and it ate all in a couple of days but i am not sure if it is healthy for them but it does keep them from dying.
