Timelapse of a the carnivorous plant, known as a sundew or drosera capensis, folding over a fly. This is my first attempt at time lapsing one of my plants. Sorry it is jumpy in a few places, the camera occasionally focused on other parts of the plant or the fence behind, so I had to chop those frames out and reposition the camera so it would stay in focus.

Notice just over 3/4 into the movie, on the leaf to the right, the tentacles move inwards aswell so its obviously caught something.
