The flytrap, specifically the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), got its name due to its unique mechanism for capturing prey, primarily flies and other small insects. The plant features modified leaves that snap shut when sensitive hairs are triggered, resembling a trap. The name reflects both its carnivorous nature and its effectiveness in catching insects, which are essential for its nutrient intake in nutrient-poor soil environments.
