is the most well-known carnivores plant. A perennial plant that blooms each year, their flowers are pollinated by sweat bees, the notch-tipped flower longhorn beetle, and the checkered beetle. Interestingly, the Venus flytrap doesn’t trap the insects that pollinate them, butants, spiders, grasshoppers, and beetles within their two hinged lobes.
On the inner surfaces of the lobes are hair-like projections called trichomes that cause the lobes to snap shut when prey comes in contact with them.
