Repeated contact with a trigger hair, or contact with two hairs within a few seconds, can trigger closure. The trap's interlocking edges help hold prey while digestive enzymes break it down, a process that can take up to ten days. 'Wacky Traps' closes slowly, so follow the included care instructions and recommended feeding approach for this cultivar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are shipped by First Class Mail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rainbow Carnivorous Plants LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67639524163674,"sku":"sku-39907439935621","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3055\/7274\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_ea789f15-6320-4a6e-9c6d-e4340ac4cdbd.jpg?v=1791480476","url":"https:\/\/www.moonwaterapoth.com\/products\/venus-flytrap-dionaea-muscipula-wacky-traps","provider":"Moon Water Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
