My favorite plant, Tippi the Venus flytrap. October 2021, sat in a windowsill for most of the year, has been outside for about two months. Lack of light has stunted her and her color isn't as good as last year, but she has sprawled a lot. I've removed several small crowns to bring inside for the winter, it seems like all of her energy this year went into replacing what I took when I divided her. Mildew took her clones from the leaf pullings and division this spring. The crowns I removed will be rooted in live sphagnum instead of peat this time, and are using a terrarium with cross ventilation (a repurposed spider habitat).
Brunswick Co, NC. It'd be easy to walk right over these plants without even realizing they were there.
The Venus Flytrap, Dionaea, uses modified leaves to trap and digest insects and other small creatures in the flytrap's nutrient-poor environment. Four trigger hairs on the inside (upper) surface of these leaves trigger the rapid leaf closing when disturbed. In this cross section of the leaf, there are numerous digestive glands on the adaxial (inner) surface.

I left a fly trap too long in the back yard without emptying it. Now it's a seething mass of maggots living on the dead bodies of flies, like a very simple eco system.

These are VERY small. I'd say about 3/8 of an inch long at the most. The wind was blowing so out of 10 photos I took, only 3 were keepers.

Photography by Velvet Flytrap
When I had these images done I was still new to the photography "scene" in Second Life and now prefer heavily manipulated images. But I recommend this photographer for those who just want a nice profile pic.
Oh and these images feature my old shape which is by Redgrave.

Gosh, I love venus flytraps. (Some pitcher plants and the like in there too, I think?)

Each trap has three (or more) specialized hairs on each side. If an insect brushes against at least two of these within a short period of time, the trap will snap shut. It requires two touches so that things like raindrops or debris blown in by the wind won't cause the plant to unnecessarily expand energy on closing and reopening the trap.
