Hey, can anyone tell me what the trapping mechanism is on the genlesia? I did a search, and found a couple of pictures that weren't helpful, and some scientific gobledegook.
Genlisea have a corkscrew type of trap, and prey is often almost microscopic. There is no activity to the traps: prey (often the genus Monarda) work their way down the traps, the shape prevents their escape: they can go down, but not back.
