A Venus Fly Trap is a plant which possesses green leaves and stems, and these are used for photosynthesis. Their habit (of rapid closure) is believed to have evolved to enable better capture of larger insects and Spiders. Their ancestral plants are possibly Sundews, who use a sticky trap, and mainly capture small prey.

They obtain protein from their diet, and can thus flourish in nutrient-poor soils or swamps. Have a crack at Venus Fly trap in wikipedia.
