Yes, a Venus Flytrap requires protein to supplement its nutrient intake, as it typically grows in nutrient-poor soil. It captures and digests insects and other small prey to obtain essential nutrients, such as nitrogen. While it can survive without eating insects for a time, regular feeding helps it thrive and grow healthily. However, it can also obtain some nutrients through photosynthesis.

What kind of shelter does a Venus Flytrap need?
protection from humans
Is a Venus Flytrap a heterotroph or autotroph?
It is an autotroph. It doesn't need to eat flies to survive. I had a venus fly trap and never gave it flies and it lived just fine with photosynthesis. Heterotrophs need to eat others to live.
Why does the Venus Flytrap eat animals?
Venus Flytraps eat flies and insects because their environment resulted in the need for nutrients contained in them. They adapted to that environment and developed the traps for catching flies.
What experiment could you do to find out if Venus flytrap plants need to digest flies to grow?

What is the Venus Flytrap's skeletal system?
The Venus Flytrap is a plant and so does not have a skeleton in the usual sense that we think of, that is bones. Plant cells have cellulose in their cell walls which allow them to form rigid structures and stand without the need for an internal skeleton.
Why do venus flytrap need to eat inscects?
The plant grows in poor soil so needs nutrients from elsewhere
Do Venus Flytraps have to eat bugs?
Yes. As their habitat lacks good quality nutrients and the chemical, Nitrogen, it is mandatory that the Flytrap gets its energy from other sources - eating insects. Photosynthesis alone would not keep the Venus Flytrap alive.
