Venus Flytraps

 A Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that eats bugs and insects. How does it work?

There are tiny hairs on the leaf of the Venus flytrap and bugs will be drawn to the smell of the nectar that the Venus flytrap makes. When the plant senses that there is a bug on it, it makes the plant to snap shut trapping the bug inside it.

Once the Venus flytrap closes, the plant secretes digestive enzymes. These break down the insect into a liquid. The plant then absorbs all the nutrients for food.
