The best-known carnivorous plant is the Venus flytrap. This amazing plant has a very limited natural habitat: a narrow strip of land about ten miles wide and one hundred miles long in North and South Carolina. The process that usually happens when an insect lands on a Venus flytrap is this: The insect touches the hairs on the upper side of the leaf blade, triggering a reaction that causes the two halves to snap together. The stiff hairs around the edge of the blade interlock, and the insect is trapped like a prisoner behind bars. Digestive enzymes on the leaf break down the insect’s proteins, and the plant absorbs from its victim the extra nitrogen that it needs.
