Still life Dionaea muscipula

This plant secretes a certain odor that attracts insects, such as flies and ants. The beak closes around the "trapped" insect and it is drained, when the beak opens after a few days the dried-out insect falls out. It's a very young plant, so a beak in this case is about 1 to 2 cm (0.4" to 0.8") long.
