Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is probably the best known of the more than 600 species of carnivorous plants, which absorb nutrients from prey rather than through their roots. The flytrap grows in the wild only in wet pine savannas of the U.S. Carolinas, a habitat slowly disappearing because of land development. Despite its name, the Venus flytrap catches more ants, beetles and other crawling things than flies.
