These plants get the prey in the following manner:
flies feeding suddenly find plants that are very compelling: Venus plantThe form of this plant resemble a pair of hands holding a bowlWhich makes it interesting, besides the red color, these plants also issued a fragrant smell that comes from the glands around the eyelidFlies are attracted by the smell fragrant and landed on the petals without hesitation.  When moving to find foodaccidentally touching the feathers fly petals that seem harmlessA few moments later, the eyelids close quickly. Flies strong sandwiched between two such lidsPlants Venus began to remove fluid that "dissolves the flesh" to form a fly turned into a kind of gel. Gel is then absorbed by plants.
