Venus flytrap:

Also called Dionaea muscipula, these plants often trap insects by eating them! If a fly lands on a Venus Fly Trap, it would activate the “trap” by touching the plant’s “hairs” and would be crushed by the plant. After doing so, a Venus Fly Trap receives nutrients from the insect.

✰These plants are still autotrophic because they mainly receive food from sunlight.
