The fly gets slowly digested over a period of around 10 days. Its juices are used as nutrients for the Flytrap to consume. The left over parts of the fly are kept inside the trap until it is washed out by the rain once the trap has reopened.
The flies/bugs are digested using special enzymes in the Venus Flytrap.

The Venus Flytrap are plants due to how their cells are made up. The Venus Flytrap contains plant cells and does not go through respiration like an animal does.
Even though it gets energy and nutrients from bugs, it still uses photosynthesis like any other plant.
to quickly eat insects before they go away.
Venus Flytraps are not herbivores because if they were they would go around and eat other plants. Venus Flytraps are actually carnivores as they will only eat flies, bees, crickets, spiders etc.
Because when it digests nutrients from the insect it kills the nutrients go down the stem into its roots so that the Flytrap can survive ------------------------------------------------ Without its stem it would die and digesting food would be impossible to do

The thing that makes the Venus Flytrap special is because it can eat bugs. Here are a few tips for looking after one... They need at least 8 hours of sunlight. Never give them tap water. Give them rainwater or boil the water. And never give them meat. They don't need bugs they just need sun and water. If you want to feed them then go to a local pet store and buy some bugs which lizards eat.
