a carnivorous plant

Identify


Answer: Venus Flytrap(Dionaea muscipula)

It is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey—mostly insects and arachnids. Its trapping structure is formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces.
