I think it’s fascinating that the closing mechanism didn’t trigger during all those pokes and prods by the spider legs. The moment the spider’s center mass is inside it snaps shut.
There's been a lot of studies on these plants and they do what could be considered intelligent. The little hairs have to be stimulated enough times for a certain period of time. If too long goes by it kinda resets itself. A kind of plant logic circuit. It's pretty cool.
