What kind of plant is famous for capturing and digesting insects as a way to get nutrients?
Correct Incorrect The Venus Flytrap, found in subtropical wetlands along the East Coast of the U.S., especially in North and South Carolina, is famous for its trap-like leaves that snap shut when tiny hairs detect insects. This carnivorous plant relies on nutrients from trapped insects to thrive in soil that lacks sufficient nutrients.
