How a Venus flytrap catches insects

Nectar inside the traps attracts insects. When an insect touches a trigger hair repeatedly, or touches two hairs within a few seconds, the trap closes. Hairlike structures along the edges interlock to help hold the prey inside. Digestive enzymes then break down the insect, a process that can take up to ten days.
