Dionaea muscipula is feeding on insects and arachnids. It is "hunting" by setting traps on the ground - each trap is formed by widening the top of a plant's leaf and it looks like some sort of jaws. When the prey touches one of the tiny hairs inside the trap, jaws close within no more than 20 seconds to catch the insect. The prey remains captured within the trap while digestive apparatus of the plant assimilates it. The empty bug exoskeleton that remains is then thrown away. The plant is normally met at the American east coast in North Carolina, USA.
