The Venus Flytrap is the most famous of all carnivorous plants. Most early scientists believed the plant to be a myth until there was physical proof.
Carnivorous plants occur naturally is swampy, marshy areas.
The plant mostly lives in North and South Carolina along the coastal plain. There are also species of carnivorous plants found in Canada, Russia, South America, Asia and Europe. Venus Flytrap is probably the most unusual plant that people probably know of, because of that the plant is taken from the wild. It is illegal to take Venus Flytrap from its habitat. There are major fines for people who ignore that law.
