Modern Synthesis
That the venus flytrap is an extremely rare plant but really difficult to grow and it only can grow in North Carolina. When an insect for example the fly, if it land in the venus flytrap's mouth and suddenly touches the trigger in the plant then the venus flytrap will rapidly close and digest the insect. Not all plants can do that only carnivorous plant are able to eat an insect and digest it.

Special Adaptations
The special adaptions of a venus flytrap is that the nectar that is the chemical mix, which attracts any type of insects. If the insects had touched the hair or trigger, rapidly the venus flytrap will close it mouth and squeeze the insect like it is choking the insect until it is unable to breathe that way it is able to digest the insect easier. it is sort of like an anaconda but like a plant and the way it start to chokes the insect in a different way.
Evolution by natural selection
Charles Darwin would say about the most common known carnivorous plant called the venus flytrap that this type of unique species are rare that it is the only plant that is name is well common known for people to know. The venus flytrap has special moves how the way the plant traps the insect with a rapidly force to close the mouth, when the insect had touched one of the trigger that is inside that plant. The venus flytrap opens its mouth only 90 degrees for catching bigger insects such as the grasshopper and wasps.

Lamarckian evolution
In the lacmarckian evolution, Jean Baptiste de Lamarck would describe the venus flytrap that how will the venus flytrap will able to close its mouth with a huge insect that is inside of the venus flytrap mouth. Also how does it digest the insect because it is not an animal, it is only a plant. How can a plant can only survive in North Carolina but not the rest of the states in U.S.A and also in the countries. Also how can a venus flytrap can eat an insect if it doesn't have any animal organs to digest the insect.
Coevolution of a venus flytrap
The coevolution of a venus flytrap is that it captures insects by having chemical mix nectar that able to attracts the insects and once the insect hit the trigger, that is inside of the plant, the venus flytrap will capture the insect then it will eat it. The Dionaea muscipula is related to the Aldrovanda vesiculosa which is known as the waterwheel plant. The reason why those two plants are related is because both of the plants are carnivorous plants. Also the venus flytrap and the waterwheel plant are being threatened and endangered species.
Human Influence
Venus flytraps are endangered species and can be also threatened by humans because the venus flytrap can only grow in North Carolina. The reason why the venus flytrap can only grow in North Carolina is because it grows in the tropical counties. But people decide to grow near clod areas and also it is very hard to know when and how much of water to grow a venus flytrap. Venus fly trap are considered to be threatened because these kind of plants are suppose to be growing in the southeast of North America or the U.S.A and in North Carolina. The venus flytrap has a chemical mix which bugs such as flies that eat it. The venus flytrap can only make these type of chemicals in North Carolina. But many people don't know about that they just take it and rather plant it in a different place besides North Carolina.
