The Venus flytrap is a kind of meat-eating plant. It grows in very few places, such as wetlands near
the coast of North Carolina in America.
The Venus flytrap is not a large plant. It grows to be only about a foot tall. The plant has white
flowers in the spring, but it is the plant's leaves that make it so interesting. The ends of the leaves have
folding parts with stiff, tiny hairs (带小硬刺的可折叠部分). These are the plant's 'traps (捕捉器)'.
What does the Venus flytrap eat? As you might guess, the Venus flytrap eats flies (苍蝇). It also
eats spiders, ants, and crickets. The Venus flytrap makes most of its food with sun, air, and water,
just like other plants. Living things just give it extra nutrition (营养) to grow well in wetlands.
How does this plant trap and eat living things? The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid (液体) to
attract its food. When a fly lands on one of the plant's open traps, hairs on the suce make the trap
closed. As soon as the trap closes, the fly is dinner!
If you want to have your own Venus flytrap at home, you have to buy the plant from a special place.
You can't take a Venus flytrap from where it grows! There are laws about taking it out of the wild.
