Carnivorous plant - Venus flytrap

With all the endangered/ threatened animals being added to Minecraft, why don't you add an endangered plant? The Venus Flytrap has been declining in the wilds. Even though they have the name Flytrap, they actually catch spiders and ants more. I hope you will consider this to spread awareness that a cool plant is becoming rare in the wilds. And help show how they grow in Minecraft because they have a reputation of being hard to grow and care for.

    This is a great idea. Minecraft has added bees and soon will add axolotls to raise awareness. The Venus Flytrap would be a perfect plant to add. Maybe they would spawn in a rare swamp variant to show how they are declining in the real world. They could eat spiders, cave spiders, endermites and silverfish, but not bees. When they eat bugs, their mouth closes and it takes 1-5 days to digest. They would not be a mob, but a plant that would grow and have different stages. They would attempt to grow a flower at some point and bees would be able to pollinate from these. If you break the flower, you ca craft it into another flytrap or feed it to bees. The flytrap would start 1x1x1 but would eventually expand other a larger area (3x3?). They cannot injure the player, as in real life, venus flytaps are harmless to people. perhaps they could drop special items with special abilities?
