Venus Flytraps in Their Native Habitat

Caption

Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are in a genus all their own, and are native to a relatively small area, restricted to within a 100-mile radius of Wilmington, N.C. A recent study from NC State University finds that Venus flytraps do not prey on those species that pollinate their flowers.
