Yes, the venus flytrap is a carnivore because it consumes any insect it can trap, and those insects provide nourishment for the plant with by way of their meat content. Because it only consumes insects and other tiny bugs some people think that the venus flytrap is a more specialised type of carnivore called an insectivore.

Many common pests eat the venus flytrap. Slugs eat the entire leaf, including the trap, aphids suck the life juice from them, thrips infest them, etc. Many common larger herbivorous pests eat it.
slugs , birds, and vary rarely small rodents.

The Venus Flytrap has almost no predators but sometimes when it is very still a herbivore could come up and try to eat it. To humans it is not so harmful (just think of it as a really big weed that eats flies). We in a way, could be classed as predators to the Flytrap as we dig them out of the ground and transport them all over the world. Carnivores don't bother eating plants anyway so nothing really bugs them.

It eats other organisms so, yes, it would be considered a predator.
