An insectivorous plant (Dionaea muscipula) of the coastal plain of the Carolinas, having sensitive, hinged, marginally bristled, two-lobed leaf blades that close and entrap insects.

It has traps and has tiny hairs (censors) on the inside of the traps. Flies and bugs are attracted to the scent of them, so when they land on a censor the trap shuts, eats, and then it will digest the fly or bug using special enzymes.
The Venus Fly Trap - is a carnivorous plant. Its leaves form two halves of a hinged 'trap'. When an insect crawls over the surface, it trips 'trigger hairs' on the leaf, which snaps shut in a split-second. The insect is then dissolved by digestive enzymes.

The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) attracts insects onto its paired multicolor leaves, which then snap shut, trapping the insect in a "cage" between them.

Flies and insects are attracted to the Venus Flytrap's bright colours and scent. There are stiff "spikes" along the edges of the plant's leaves, which combine to form a barred cage when they rapidly fold together. This is triggered by tiny hairs in its trap: when a fly triggers two hairs in quick succession, the trap closes almost instantaneously. Unable to escape, the fly is slowly digested by enzymes in the leaves.

Trigger Mechanism

The cells along the top of the hinge (along the inside of the trap) can quickly 'deflate' when they receive the signal from any 2 of the 6 trigger hairs on the inside surface. The trigger hairs send a signal when they are bent over by any mechanical pressure such as a bug brushing against them. The mechanism for 'deflating' is rapid loss of turgor pressure by the opening of ion channels in the cell membrane of those cells on the top surface of the hinge allowing water to rush out.

It is likely that 2 hairs need to be bent to prevent false alarms from rain drops hitting the hairs. The margins of the traps are guarded by bristles that serve 2 functions: they keep bugs that are too big from entering the trap and they prevent escape of bugs that have triggered the trap during the brief period that it takes for the trap to close.

After the trap closes, continued struggling stimulates cell growth that causes the trap to close tighter--sometimes until the guard bristles point outward. This forms a very tight seal and preserves moisture and enzymes that digest the bug. The plant senses both mechanically and chemically if it has a living or nonliving thing in its trap. If it caught something worth eating, it will create an airtight seal, suffocate or drown the bug, and start digesting it. The plant absorbs the nitrogen compounds from the bug to make up for the nitrogen-poor bog soil where it grows.

Not under the existing environmental conditions.

The planet Venus has many of the elements found on Earth, but conditions there are not hospitable to human life. It is too hot (average 464 °C or 867°F) and the carbon dioxide atmosphere has a crushing pressure nearly 100 times that at sea level on Earth (92 bar). Under these conditions, there is also no liquid water on the planet's surface, and the only "rain" (high up in the atmosphere) consists of sulfuric acid!

Floating Cities

Several novel proposals have suggested establishing aerial colonies 50 kilometers above the surface, where the temperature and pressure are closer to Earth's.

• Venus fly-traps have two leaf parts: a leaf base and a leaf blade. A Venus fly-trap grows out of the ground with its broad and flat leaf base, which carries out photosynthesis.

Trapping Mechanism

• The second leaf part of a Venus fly-trap is its trapping mechanism, also referred to as the trap, leaf-blade or lamina.

  Ends of leaves are composed of two lobes hinged together that can open and close in order to trap a small insect.

Trigger Hairs

• Venus fly-traps usually have several trigger hairs growing on each trap lobe. When an insect lands on a Venus fly-trap and moves around, trigger hairs know that it is live prey that can be trapped and eaten.

Venus Fly-trap Teeth

• The egdes of a Venus fly-trap have teeth and look fingerlike. The teeth lace together when an insect is trapped by the plant.

Petiole

• The two leaf parts of a Venus fly-trap, the leaf blade and leaf base, are joined together by a small stalk called the petiole.

They have many sensitive trigger hairs.

The Venus Flytrap attracts insects to it by its bright colour and scent. When an animal triggers 2 of its trigger hairs inside one of its mouths (leaves) the trap shuts tight and the animal/insect is slowly digested over a period of around 10 days.

Since the Venus fly trap lives in boggy, wet habitats, they have had to adapt to survive and live there. Venus fly traps have special hairs inside the trap that once touched, trigger the trap to suddenly shut. If the fly inside is caught, enzymes will digest the pray to get much needed vitamins that the bog does not have. The flies think the trap is a flower and fly into it without a second thought.

Not every plant has seeds, but Venus Flytraps can be grown from seeds, although they may take several years to mature. They usually reproduce by division.

The Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) not only consumes insects for food, it also needs insects for pollination to make a new generation. In order to attract the insects, the mature Venus Flytrap will grow a very long stalk so that the insects won't get accidentally eaten. On top of these stalks grow white flowers that secrete sweet-smelling chemicals, pollen and seeds that are 1 mm long. The Venus Flytrap has to be several years old before it has enough energy to devote to making flowers and seeds. The insects attracted to the flowers walk over the stamen (the male part of a plant located at the tips of the filaments) and transfer that pollen to the pistil (the female part of the flower located deep in the center). Gardeners can fertilize their Venus Flytraps by taking a cotton swab, rubbing the fuzzy stamen and then rubbing that pollen in the pistil. In a few weeks, the flowers die, but the fertilized seeds remain, drop into the soil and grow.

Venus Flytraps reproduce like any other plant; with pollen grains and stigma to fertilize seeds.
There are seedlings wich form in the fly trap's pod when wind blows the seedlings are deposited to the soil and that is the TRUTH!
