Скачать или смотреть Venus Flytrap Owners: NEVER Make This Mistake!

A dead insect might seem like an easy meal for a Venus Flytrap, but there’s a reason why it doesn’t work as you might expect! In this video, I explain why dead bugs are not ideal for Venus Flytraps and what happens when you try to feed them one.

How Venus Flytraps Work:
These carnivorous plants rely on trigger hairs inside their traps to sense movement. When an insect moves, the trap snaps shut and begins digestion. But dead bugs don’t move, meaning the trap won’t fully seal or start the digestion process properly.

What Happens When You Feed a Dead Bug?
If you drop a dead insect into a Venus Flytrap without triggering movement, the plant might eventually reopen, thinking it made a mistake. There are ways to manually stimulate the trap (which I’ll explain), but live prey is always the best choice!
