Detailed explanation-1: -Venus flytrap, (Dionaea muscipula), also called Venus’s flytrap, perennial carnivorous plant of the sundew family (Droseraceae), notable for its unusual habit of catching and digesting insects and other small animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pitcher plants are a rolled-leaf modification that looks like a pitcher. Most pitchers have a lid to cover their opening. The venus flytrap arises from a short stem and is seen as a rosette of leaves. The terminal lobes of the leaves capture the prey.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Venus flytrap, or Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant that still baffles and fascinates scientists and botanists today.

Detailed explanation-4: -Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), pitcher plant (Cephalotus follicularis), and bladderwort (Utricularia gibba) can be seen as exemplars of key traits genetically associated with carnivory: trap leaf development, prey digestion, and nutrient absorption.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Venus flytrap is a flowering plant best known for its carnivorous eating habits. The “trap” is made of two hinged lobes at the end of each leaf. On the inner surfaces of the lobes are hair-like projections called trichomes that cause the lobes to snap shut when prey comes in contact with them.
