THE VENUS FLY TRAP
THE VENUS FLY TRAP
I was about writing on the quality of a very popular flower,the rose flower. How beautiful it is,how I'll run out of adjectives(clause and phrases) to describe how wonderful it makes me feel. Trust me , The rose flower is very beautiful creation 😍. But then like a lightning ⚡flash, a thought came to me. Why don't you write about the Venus flower.
However, you know how we all keep saying " flowers are nice and all, it produces it's own food through photosynthesis, the beauty of nature" like it's a holy grail, it does no bad. As you're about to read this, I want you to keep your minds open as I take you into the world of the Venus fly trap, hopefully when you come back with me (some of us might get stuck) your minds would he open to an idea of a carnivorous plant( yeah you heard it well, carnivorous plant).

Every heard of a carnivorous plant or a carnivore flower? Some of us yes,some of us no.
INTRODUCTION OF THE VENUS FLY TRAP FLOWER
The Venus fly trap is a plant belonging to the kingdom palntea,it's family is the Droseracae,it's belongs to the specie of D,musicpula. The Venus fly trap is found mostly in North America. In America to be precise,in the East coast and the North.
How it feeds
The most intriguing thing about this plant is it feeds on insects and arachinds. Surprised?
When an insect lands on it or crawls on it's leaf, it makes contact with the hairline of the Venus (found in the opening) then it gets stuck. The Venus fly trap then some how closes the opening and ingest the insects or arachinds.

How does a plant do this? One begins to wonder 🤷🏼♂️.
There are things that are just made by nature's that's fascinating, just to die for and to enjoy. This Venus plant is one of them.
It begs the question? Are plants really the most holy as we try to portray it here on uptrennd? Or there are more to it we don't know? See how beautiful they look,so innocent but they are Apex predators. Yeah you read it well,Apex predators.

What do you all think about the Venus fly trap flower?
Is it just a survival instinct? Mind you it can still produce it's own food through photosynthesis or is it just a killer?
I should end with this, nature is so varying,so beautiful,so tender,yet so destructive. It's all about the survival of the fittest.
Just like the spider web,it's an illusion for the spider but chaos for the fly.
