The most well known species of carnivorous plants. Traps have a limited number of false alarms. Don't stimulate them too often. Artificially springing the trap drains the plant's energy.
The trap of the Venus Flytrap is one of Nature's most amazing marvels. The outer edges of the two clamshell-like halves are lined with nectar glands and stout bristles.
Another startling feature of the Pygmy Sundews are their size. Normally the plants grow to a maximum diameter of half an inch. The rosettes are about 1.5 cm across and golden-green in color, more red under bright light.
