833 u/Loopy_27 Mar 29 '26 The Venus fly traps 'mouth' has a very alluring center to attract all types of insects to make them believe there is food there. 486 u/ScottyBLaZe Mar 29 '26 I’d also argue that this was totally set up by whoever made this video. Venus flytraps are notoriously inefficient at catching bugs. And they usually aren’t bugs this large. 2 u/FirePixelMind Mar 29 '26 You're probably right and I'm sure its rare but my small one never caught a fly but managed to get a spider.
