A Venus Flytrap is a carnivorous plant that catches insects for food by snapping it's leaves shut. It does this through a combination of elasticity, turgor and growth. The leaves naturally bend outward but when they are closed the are bend inwards and create the trap. It is still difficult to know how this exactly happens but when small hairs are triggered on the leaves they snap shut catching the prey. It will typically take about 10 days to fully digest this food then reopen. They typically reside in boggy, swampy areas low in nitrogen.
