Yes. When it traps a creature inside it's "mouth", it actually creates a stomach around it and digests it. Since it is not eating other plants, but it is eating insects, it is considered a carnivore. It adapted as such due to poor soil conditions in in it's native habitat.
Yes, the Venus Flytrap is carnivorous. It is one of the few plants that only eat meat, and does not use photosynthesis as a primary source of energy. The Venus Flytrap mainly eats flies that fly into one of their traps.

Yes, Venus Flytraps are carnivorous plants that capture and digest insects for nutrients. They have specialized leaves with sensitive trigger hairs that snap shut when an insect makes contact, trapping and eventually digesting the prey.

A venus fly trap is both a producer and a carnivore (a consumer).

Since it makes its own food by photosynthesis, it is a producer.

To make that food, it must trap and digest insects and absorb the nutrients that it doesn't get from the poor soil it grows in. So it is also a carnivore.
