Is The Venus Flytrap An Alien Life Form?

Venus flytraps are believed to have originated in South America and it is still unknown when they originated, or how they began to grow wildly in North America. They eat bugs not because they are from outer space, but because the environment that they live in is extremely poor in nitrogen. When they eat bugs they end up getting a rich supply of nutrients that they can't get in the soil. If you know anything about botany than you should know that nitrogen is critical for a plant to survive. So that is why they are carnivorous.

The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous herb, nothing more. It is not the only carnivorous plant. There are several hundred species of such plants. They are not forms of alien life like Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, nor do they grow into giants like the one in the Addams Family.

No, the Venus flytrap is in the rain forest!

No. It's a plant.

I very highly doubt it. It can be found growing around Wilmington, North Carolina, USA. Not exactly sure though you got me thinking... Don't think it'll be answered in our lifetime

I believe that the Venus Flytrap is found natively in North and South Carolina, within about a one hundred mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina. It thrives in very nitrogen poor soil.

Well, they do grow around supposed crater sites. And, they originally only grew in N/S Carolina. They still can't explain the closing of the trap.. They only have theories..
And, some carnivorous plants don't properly follow the stem, root, leaf pattern like most plants..
So, who knows?
