Venus fly trap is murky waters. Here's what I can say about my opinion of consciousness. A yeast cell is not conscious. A spider is. Where the transition lay is a mystery. There are a few exceptions to the vagile/sessile rule. For example, an anemone and a hydra can inch around their habitats, but at such a pace as to almost be negligible. And it is unclear that they aren't just moving along a chemical gradient of some sort. To be conscious requires some agency. I don't think moving along a chemical gradient counts as agency. Now, as to the Venus fly trap, its difficult to tell if it has agency or not, but it does appear to 'choose' when to close its trap. That is, it doesn't slam shut when the insect touches one specific organ, so far as I know, but rather it lures the creature in then closes on it when it is comfortably gathering nectar or whatever. Frankly, my judgement may be clouded, because I want the Venus fly trap to be conscious. I want this, because if we can say that it is conscious then that implies automatically that consciousness has arisen more than once here on Earth, that consciousness is a property of life, in some respects and not just an accident of nature. Obviously, its not good to let your hopes cloud your reasoning, but at least I'm aware of it.
