Venus Flytrap

My name is Venus Flytrap and I eat all flies and bugs.
I grow in Carolina or flower pots as well.
Please give me nice water or I’ll get VERY Snappy.
Put me in a sunny place and I will grow quite well.
But if you give me too much water, I’ll die- no more of me!
When Insects sit on me, it’s goodbye to them.
I’ll keep it warm until I’m really REALLY hungry.
My name is Venus Flytrap and now it’s bye to you!
