The common Venus flytrap is a low-growing, carnivorous plant that uses modified leaves to form hinged, jaw-like traps with trigger hairs on the inside. Native to the boggy, nutrient-poor soils of North and South Carolina, it captures insects to supplement its diet. The plant has a rosette of leaves, and the traps can be small and low to the ground in cooler seasons or taller in warmer ones, with the interior color ranging from green to red depending on the amount of sunlight.
