venus trap plant

i have been so lazy to post..
but today, i witnessed something really cool! super cool!

we bought a venus fly trap plant at walmart. just because...



well, we kind of thought that sometimes we see bugs flying around the house and that this pet-plant maybe a good natural solution for that.

so today i saw a fly hovering in the house. then i trapped the fly with a plastic bag (a thing that i learned long time ago when i used to play around the dumpster :).
next thing i put the plant inside the plastic bag with the fly inside. less than 5 minutes making noise in the bag, i saw the fly started walking on top of the plant and before i realized it, with my own two eyes i saw one of the trap close. whoa!



yes, that dark shadow is the fly inside the trap. that was the coolest thing ever. who would ever thought this nasty wild carnivorous cruel plant would end up as a decorating plant in many houses. unbelievable.



as you can see, the wing is still visible.
fascinating. it was a very big fruit fly but it's going to experience a slow death and provides a good nutrition for the plant.
