INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Venus flytraps catch and digest mosquitoes?

Unclear. Several sources confirm Venus flytraps trap and digest insects generally, and one notes they catch flies and spiders, but none of the retrieved items specifically establishes that mosquitoes are among the prey caught and digested.
