Why do venus flytrap need to eat insects?

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

No, Venus Fly Traps do not eliminate aphids.

Specifically, the plant in question (Dionaea muscipula) is a carnivore that includes insects among its prey. By consuming insects, a Venus Fly Trap makes up for a lack of nutrients in the soils in which it tends to grow. But aphids (Aphidoidea superfamily) mature to sizes that are too small for Venus Fly Traps to consume.

Is venus fly-trap a heterotroph?

Venus fly trap is a autotroph.

The carnivorous diet is a very specialized form of foliar feeding, and is an adaptation found in several plants from soil poor in nutrients. Their carnivorous traps were evolutionarily selected to allow these organisms to survive their harsh environments.

The only component its takes from mostly insects is nitrogen.

---

Yes and no. It's a heterotroph in the fact it can catch and digest animals (insects), but also an autotroph in the fact it can still photosynthesize and tap water from the soil. It's basically an autotroph with some heterotrophic tendencies.

Some carnivorous plants don't even develop their trapping structures until nutrients in the soil run out and are purely autotrophic until then. :)
