Do plants that mimic insects suggest that plants can see?

I’m wondering the same thing
-
Random mutation doesn't result in perfectly mimicking the appearance of a fly. Clearly there must be some sort of awareness there. Does this mean vegetarians are murderers.

so the plant have to know about flies and how they look to mimic them. hows that possible? it needs a brain and awareness. no?
-
I have brain and awareness but I don't think I can just evolve out fly features even if I tried so I don't think that's how it works. Or maybe I'm not trying hard enough.
-
why not? fishes also evolved limbs over time. i guess u just aint trying hard enaugh. nah but seriously, how the fck the plant knows anything about flies? its a a plant for fcks sake...
