Yes. Growing in areas of poor soil, the Venus Flytrap needs additional minerals, which it obtains by digesting trapped insects. The Venus Flytrap has colorful paired leaves with a row of cilia (spikes) along the edges. When a fly lands on a leaf, it triggers tiny hairs that cause the two halves of the leaf to close, forming a cage that the fly cannot escape from. As it tries to escape, it will eventually be trapped within the leaf and dissolved by enzymes.
