The Venus Flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey—mostly insects and arachnids. Its trapping structure is formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves comes into contact with one or more of the hairs twice in succession, the trap closes. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against the spurious expending of energy toward trapping other, non-living things which may not reward the plant with similar nutrition.

In this set I wanted to show the difference between some of the Flytrap varieties. Some are more tall and erect, while others like the 'Big Mouth' are quite prostrate and to the ground.

The Venus Flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey—mostly insects and arachnids. Its trapping structure is formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap closes if a different hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against a waste of energy in trapping objects with no nutritional value.
Playing around a little with this flytrap. This was taken wide open ( f-2.8). I think it gives the plant a more sinister look...
This plant lives on our kitchen windowsill, and has caught more flies than our old electric fly zapper ever did.
Dionaea muscipula
While this plant is native only in small areas of North and South Carolina, legend has it that seeds were collected there and scattered in at least four areas in the Apalachicola National Forest and a nearby area. They have done quite well here. While they do spread over time, they are not agressively taking over native habitats.
The beautiful white flowers bloom in May. The trap part of the leaf is activated when an insect touches the trigger hairs and the leaf quickly closes on the prey.

This is a picture of a housefly (Musca domestica) resting on a Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula). This picture was taken inside my home in Holly Ridge, NC on May 30th, 2018 at roughly 12:00p.m. The ecological concept captured in this photo is an example of predation, in the form of carnivory. The venous flytrap is demonstrating a type 1 predator functional response. Because the venus flytrap is sedentary, it is a passive predator and its consumption rate is constant. Since planting the venous fly trap in my kitchen, the only flies it has consumed are the ones I have hand feed it. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, less than five present of the flytraps diet in the natural environment are flying insects. Venus fly traps eat mostly ants, spiders, beetles and grasshoppers. This can be partially because flying insects can act as pollinators for the venus flytraps flowers. This photo is probably more accurately described as a mutualistic relationship photo rather than an example of a predation. I do not know how effective a house fly is at pollination, but the flytrap has evolutionarily engineered itself to target insects without wings. I do not know then how the name venous “fly” trap came to be, but it tricked me into planting one on my window sill. #ecology #bio366 #Su2018 #image4 #UNCW

Another one of my favorite venus flytrap cultivar. I love the combination of short, dentate fangs and red colour.
Poor fly is scared by the Venus-flytrap leaves. The focus is on the plant's plastic box/container which has this funny pattern printed on it.
