It is a master hunter in the plant kingdom, and the Creator gave it the beautiful name "The Fly Trap of Venus". Named because the spines on its edges resemble the slender eyelashes of Venus, we call it "flytraps". Plants draw nutrients from sunlight, moisture, soil, and carbon dioxide, while flycatchers are unique, like meat, and love to eat insects such as flies and spiders to fill their stomachs. Flies are rich in high-quality protein sources and are a favorite food of flycatchers.

Throw in what you like, and tempt them to profit. Use the food that small insects love to eat to make them fall into the trap, just like children like candy, because the sweet taste triggers sensory satisfaction and makes the body and mind happy, and the same is true for insects. The leaf margins of the flytrap contain honey glands that secrete large amounts of sweet honey to lure prey closer. The creamy honey juice gleamed seductively on the pink flesh flap, and the insects flew into the trap under the seductive smell.
The top of the leaf of the flytrap has a shell-like mouth, which is the trap, the edge of the trap has a tusk more like a claw like a thorny hair, the leaf of the flytrap has 6 induction hairs inside, setting the clock for the end of life for the insect, and the bright red mouth of the mysterious monster, as if it is autonomously conscious, can distinguish the type and level of visitors.
When the visitor touches the mechanism, the flytrap will turn on the timing mode through the electrical signal, and if the visitor withdraws within 20 seconds, the flycatcher will open the net and not kill. But 20 seconds after life and death, the visitor is still greedily sucking honey juice, it will trigger a second induction hair, or any one of the induction hairs will be triggered twice, and the small mouth of the blood basin of the flytrap will quickly close, closing the door to escape. The relentless spiny hairs turn into a sturdy cage, trapping the prey firmly in the cage and opening the feast.

After the escape gate is closed, the insects trapped in the dark abyss struggle to no avail, the trap becomes a strong stomach, and the dense inner glands on the inside of the two leaf lobes open the digestion mode, secreting protease to slowly decompose the insects.
Insects undergo a long process of digestion, the insect's protein is decomposed and absorbed, and the insect grass needs to be digested for 5 to 12 days. After drinking and eating, the door of desire opened again, and the unlucky insect had turned into a dry shell, ready to welcome the arrival of the next lucky one.
This interesting carnivorous plant, in fact, eating meat is only an auxiliary way of eating, its growth or rely on photosynthesis and nutrients drawn from the soil. Only when the soil lacks the nutrients it needs, it hunts with the mouth of the monster.
In full light, the inside of the trap is pink or bright red, which is particularly delicate. Many people use it as a domestic plant because of its cool shape, feeding it with various insects, and the trap is forced to open, causing it to be overwhelmed and return to the west.

The little green monster grows in the humid and mild climate of the East Coast of the United States and is an authentic Native American. In nutrient-poor wetlands, any nutrients are precious to flycatchers, including its digestive juices.
The flytrap is like an intelligent creature, and its cilia are like its antennae and nerves, sensing the arrival and death of prey. It does not waste a drop of digestive juice, and when the trap is closed, but not completely closed, it will still give the tiny insect a chance to escape, so as not to waste valuable digestive juice. If the prey is large enough, the greater the amplitude and force of the struggle, the tighter the trap will be closed, and the prey will no longer have the possibility of escaping.
Everyone's attention is focused on its cool trap, but it also has amazing buds. The flower stems up to 15 to 25 centimeters tall have 10 pure white flower buds at the top, like a plain-clothed girl.
The strange trap at the bottom and the beautiful flowers at the top form a strange scene, where beauty and slaughter coexist on the flycatcher. The flower is so far away from the insect trap that it will not mistakenly kill the insect that comes to assist in pollination, such a good intention, is it really thoughtful?
Flytraps are herbaceous plants that, after germinating, mature after 4 to 5 years, they can flower and bear fruit. In a good environment, flycatchers live for more than 20 to 30 years. The first leaf of the juvenile flycatcher has a complete insect trap that can carry out insect catching work.
The old leaves of the flycatcher will gradually turn yellow to no longer be able to catch insects, and finally turn black and die, but after flowering, the flycatcher will continue to grow more new leaves and grow larger traps.
Flytraps love the sun, and the hotter the light, the more it can grow happily. At the same time, it is a baby who loves to drink water, and under the condition of sufficient sunshine and moisture, it will burst out of its strong growth ability.
Flytraps are not the piranhas of the rainforest in science fiction movies, they bloom with their own unique beauty and tenacious life in the cycle of four seasons. If you like, raise a pot of flytraps, get up close and personal with this strange little plant, and feel its unique charm.
