Dionaea muscipula

Flytrap is a very interesting insectivorous plant, which can be described as a "fighter" in plants. Native to North America, it has an insect trap similar to a "shell" at the top of its leaves and can secrete honey. When a small insect intrudes, it will clamp it and digest and absorb it at a very fast speed.
