  1. It disolves the flies and gets the nutrients from them.


  2. It desolves the fly get nutrients from them and them leaves the body of the venus fly trap.

  3. yes dey get dissolved

  4. down, it proably goes to a sort of stomach to get the energy from it

  5. The exoskeleton of the fly doesn't go anywhere, but the soft internal parts are absorbed by the plant after it closes on the insect (fly in this case).  After the trap is done absorbing the nutrients from the fly, it reopens (usually after 5-10 days) and the exoskeleton of the insect is all that remains.  

    The exoskeleton will usually get washed out by rain or blown out by wind, but if that doesn't happen, it will just stay in the reopened trap.  Often times the exoskeleton will lure in a second meal for the trap, such as a spider.

  6. The fly is liquified by the plants secretions and absorbed.

  7. It digested it. It has a tummy (stomach) that humans can't see.

  8. They get disolved by acid in the fly trap (along with the jaw thing) and they get used by the plant to grow!

  9. they get disintegrated.

  10. When the trap is closed, the plant secretes digestive juices to get at the softer insides of the insect which it absorbs.  Then the rest of the fly is allowed to drop out.  So unless you catch the leaf before it disposes of the insect exoskeleton, there really isn't anything of the insect left to see in the plant.

    Plants don't have stomachs, nor do they "poo" in the traditional sense.
