Then i asked two scientists, one of them said its a producer but the other said its a consumer so now im in a prdicament.

IS THE VENUS FLYTRAP A PRODUCER OR A CONSUMER?

Answer 1

I would say it is both.  It's a producer because it's a plant that undergoes photosynthesis, so it makes its own food, but it also eats bugs, so it's a consumer.  I don't think it has to be in only one category.

Answer 2

I think a venus flytrap is both producer because it produces food, and a consumer because it eats insects.

Answer 3

A venus flytrap is both producer because it produce food, and consumer because it eats insects. But I can say that it is more of being a consumer because it consumes more than producing food.
