A Venus fly trap is a plant it has a jaw like flower which looks like a mouth so it tempts the insects to take its nectar. When the insect is inside the trap the Venus fly trap closes its jaw and eats the insect. Venus Fly traps need to eat insects to get nutrients like Nitrogen. Their habitat is marshes and bogs and it is poor in nutrients so they eat bugs to give them nutrients.
