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.
The species can grow nearly ten inches tall. The leaves are oblong, linear to spatulate. The upper surface of the leaves have a covering of sticky tentacles, that attracts preys.
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.
