Actually, the inside of the Flytraps 'mouth' is coated with a slippery fluid, and the bug slided down into a pool of digestive juices. It only closes itself up to prevent flying insects from escaping. It doesn't smush the bug, but dissolve it. And the larges ones are in the Amazon Rain Forrest.

But WKRP had a 6' one running around the station.

The first answer hello is talking about a pitcher plant, about the size of a very small pitcher of water.
The true venus fly trap has up to one inch in size trap and it has delicate hair triggers that will close the trap. If nothing is caught it will open after 5 minutes.
There are other animal catching plants some of them catch food underwater. However they are quite smaller than the venus fly-trap.

Spiders are more of a hazard to insects than plants. Besides webs there are trap door spiders that hide behind a door, opening the door when it feels the vibrations of a victim. Spiders suck out the juices of its victims but plants dissolve insects either by the liquid inside a pitcher or ooze an acid to dissolve an insect.

The biggest venus fly traps are grown by horticulturists. The only place in the world that venus fly traps grow wild is a small bog in North Carolina in the US. The largest venus fly trap is only 2 inches across, that's the trap not the plant. The average trap is only one inch. The whole plant may be about six inches wide, that's about as big as they get.
