Other Carnivorous Plants That Move to Trap Prey

Question: Does anyone know any other flytraps that close besides the Venus flytrap?

Answer

Hello Robert,

There are many carnivorous plants with different trapping mechanisms. Some catch flies, others wasps, ants, or gnats. Not all are called "flytraps," and movement varies by species.

The only plant commonly called a "flytrap" is the Venus flytrap. Many sundews move to capture prey, though slower. Bladderworts (Utricularia) trap prey faster than Venus flytraps using suction from differential pressure.
