Venus Flytraps (Dionaea muscipula)

The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is one of the most famous carnivorous plants in the world. Native to the wetlands of North and South Carolina in the United States, it has specialized leaves that snap shut and trap bugs when tiny trigger hairs are touched. This adaptation allows it to survive in nutrient-poor soils by digesting prey and absorbing essential nutrients like nitrogen.
