The Venus flytrap adapts to its nutrient-poor, boggy habitat by developing specialized leaves that form snap traps, allowing it to capture and digest insects for nutrients. Its rapid closure mechanism is triggered by sensitive hairs inside the trap, which helps it efficiently catch prey. Additionally, the plant has evolved a mechanism to distinguish between live prey and debris, ensuring it invests energy only in capturing suitable food sources. This adaptation allows the Venus flytrap to thrive in environments where traditional nutrient uptake from the soil is limited.
