Venus Flytraps Eating Video

elgecko

I've got a magic window!
Made a video today of some VFT's having a meal.

I was going to remove the sound and add music but I noticed on VFT#3 especially & #5 makes a sound when the trap closed. I thought it was interesting to hear.
The last VFT#5 is a 5 minute sequence cut down to 2 second clips every 20 seconds showing the trap sealing itself for digestion of the insect.

Hope you like it.

Great video! I really like the demonstration of the sealing phase with the time lapse video. Well done!
 
Glad you liked it.

If I decide to be really adventurous, it would be neat to time lapse the sealing all the way till re-opening with the exoskeleton left on the leaf.
