The Venus flytrap (also referred to as Venus's flytrap or Venus' flytrap), Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina.ealthy Venus flytraps will produce scapes of white flowers in spring; however, many growers remove the flowering stem early (2â3 inches), as flowering consumes some of the plant's energy, and reduces the rate of trap production. If healthy plants are allowed to flower, successful pollination will result in seeds.

We bet you're wondering how can it be that a plant can eat prey? It sounds like a science experiment gone awry. The Venus flytrap, botanically named Dionaea muscipula, really does catch and digest animal prey -- primarily insects and spiders. The trap part of the plant that moves to envelop its prey is actually triggered by tiny little hairs on the inside of the trap.
