Answer:

I do believe that the Venus flytrap is a predator because it is a carnivorous plant. The plant's trap is a single large leaf with trigger hairs.

Answer:

Insects are protected by a chitin exoskeleton. The Venus flytrap cracks this protective shell using special digestion enzymes that are produced once the sensory hairs register a stimulus. It will ebb away if the hairs are not further stimulated.
