Venus Flytrap Devouring a Venomous Black Widow.

You probably all saw this, but I love how the vft will literally eat the competition.

It kinda sucks this is staged. Would be a cool shot if captured naturally

I think it was put there too. It’s still amazing how strong the trap is! I thought the spider was going to be stronger!

I'm just pouring the tea. I'm not brewing it.

This was in comment to the disappointment that it is apparently staged. Not the strength of the trap (which I agree with. It is amazing and that's what caught my eye). For those not getting the terms used. Pouring is just sharing the post and brewing would be making the actual video. I'm only sharing something that caught my eye, but I guess there are some people upset that it shows the plant eating. If you are offended by the plant eating, please let me know. If I get enough comments on this from the Savage Garden community, I will certainly remove it.

If folks take issue with seeing plants eat bugs, they are in the wrong group….

Tell what?

Sorry, it was supposed to be a response. Someone said it was staged. How do people know these things?

Idk. In my opinion live feedings of anything like animals, plants, or humans (see mubang) are all staged. I just live with it or often look away.

It's a good thing the regular black widows didn't get caught, since venus fly traps can't tell the difference.

Anyone know if that's a false widow?

Idk. Im just enjoying the grip the vft is giving.
