Venus Flytraps

By: Ella Templeton
• Flies and other flying insects supplement its
  nutrition from the soil on which it lives.
  Sometimes if there is a large Venus Flytrap it
  will eat a small frog or toad.
The Venus Flytrap lives on
soils that are poor in
nutrients, and in particular
nitrogen compounds, such as
nitrates, that the roots can
absorb. The insect "diet"
provides additional nitrogen,
enabling the plant to grow in
places where it might not
otherwise survive. To read
more about Venus flytraps,
visit the Related Link.
Any type of small beetle or fly
or bugs really. It will eat
anything that fits inside it.
It's in the name - flies!
You could feed a Venus
Flytrap flies, water and
hamburger meat.
You can feed Venus fly
traps quite a lot of things,
flies (obviously, that's why
it is called what it is),
spiders and many other
things, such as small bits
of raw hamburger.
You can put it by a
window in your
bathroom. I have found
that it loves it there
because it has fresh, live
flies from the window! It's
also a good idea to have a
little bowl with about 2-4
mm of water in it. (Not
tap water)
You can feed them any bug, but it will also eat
small (live) frogs or toads.
small flies buy not too small or not to big
because they can escape easily. If they are
too small the fly can escape through their
teeth and if they are to big the Venus Flytrap
can`t eat it because it can`t fit in its mouth.
• You can also feed it by putting the fly/spider
  into the trap or you can let it catch the food all
  by itself. You shouldn't make it close with
  nothing in it very often, or it will get tired and
  die. So if you don't do that, your Venus fly trap
  will live a long time! Good luck!
