The Venus Flytrap, along with other carniverous plants, evolved in an environment devoid of nitrogen and phosphorous compounds which it would need to survive. It obtains these "foods" by digesting prey, whereas most plants obtain these foods from the soil via their root systems.
Flytraps actually get a good deal of their sustenance like other plants do, through the process of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use the energy of the sun to drive a reaction that converts carbon dioxide and water to sugar and oxygen
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.
Some insects such as millipedes or worms eat the leaves of the Venus Flytrap.
It is possible that a Venus flytrap could eat a salamander, although it isnâ??t that likely. They are more likely to eat unsuspecting insects that fall onto them.
No. Venus Flytraps can only eat small insects like flies.

Yes, Venus Flytraps are good at catching and eating insects.
One leaf can eat 8-9 insects approx, before withering away.
