WOW! That looks pretty cool! Scary.

The whole trap functioned perfectly. If a trigger hair on any part of the trap was touched then the whole structure would close pretty much as normal. I never allowed it do trap anything though as I didn't want to spoil the trap so i'm not sure what the seal would have been like had it tried to digest something! The trap lasted until the end of the growing season then wen't black with the others. I've never had one since!
The plant is the very first vft i ever managed to grow without it dieing on me! I got it from a garden centre here in the UK. The Petiole was a little distorted when the plant was growing so I knew something was up. The midrib was very thick. I didn't see the double trap structure until the trap started to unfurl.
