Plant from the carnivorous family, the Dionaea (Dionaea Muscipula) Flytrap also known as Venus Flytrap is a plant that with a sudden movement traps its prey within its jaws where it eats it. It is a carnivorous plant that captures and feeds on small animals (mainly small insects and arachnids). The speed at which the Venus Flytrap closes its jaws is great and varies depending on the conditions, humidity, light, and size of its prey. It grows in a warm and humid environment, exposed to sunlight.
