A Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula with the jaws of the trap open and isolated against a white background. This is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids—with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant`s leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs called `trigger hairs` or `sensitive hairs` on their inner surfaces.
