Venus Flytrap are the most popular Carnivorous Plants.
They are fascinating to watch and are favorite subjects for science projects. They are a wonderful hobby for anyone.
I have been asked some strange questions about the eating habits of Venus Flytrap...and no, there are no Venus Flytrap that can catch dogs or small children.
In fact, they aren't capable of consuming anything larger than perhaps a cricket and that would be a feast that would last for a long time. So
they are quite safe as first pets for your youngsters.

The Dente Venus Flytrap |
|
This is a healthy specimen of a Dente Venus Flyrap. On the Dente, the spikes on the edges of the traps are shorter,
stouter and a lot tougher. No more eyelashes. They are really strong enough to keep insects from getting away but even though they may look lethal, they aren't.
They are still just plant tissue.
The Dente flytrap will be mostly green with some shading of red, usually just on the inside of the traps.
The Dente usually grows close to the ground with short, wide leaves.
