Challenge #1
Subject Area: Nature
*It lives in select boggy areas in North and South Carolina but is endangered and today grows mostly in greenhouses.
*Its leaves have short, stiff hairs called "triggers" or "sensitive hairs."
*It secretes digestive juices to dissolve the soft inner part of what it catches; leftover parts are blown or washed away when it re-opens after five to twelve days.
*When anything touches the hairs enough to bend them, two lobes or leaves snap shut and trap whatever is inside.
*It is a carnivorous, insect-eating plant that also gathers nutrients from gases in the air and the soil.
Answer: Venus Fly Trap
