Venus Fly Trap
By: Katherine C.
The Latin name for my plant is dionaea muscipula. My plant eats bugs.Venus flytraps look like a leaf. Inside the venus flytrap, there is sweet pollen. Venus flytraps are mostly found in North and South Carolina. The temperatures that the venus flytrap likes is 70 to 75F. They need nutrients, soil, and insects so they could live. It can kill flies. It can eat many different types of insects that humans don’t like. It can eat mosquitos too! The venus flytraps reproduce through pollination and also make more plants by forming bulbs. It has a life cycle that lasts up to seven years. First, they start little, and once they taste flies, they grow medium. Then, they grow big.
A dionaea muscipula is native to North America. The venus flytrap’s primary prey is ants, but it will also eat flies, beetles, slugs, spiders, and even tiny frogs. A venus flytrap looks like a leaf.
