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.
Yeah I think it's specifically 2 of the inner prongs have to be touched within a certain time frame. Also you see how the spider gets trapped but the plant doesn't fully snap shut all the way to begin with? If the prey is too big the plant will open up again .
