Carnivorous plants catches and digests animal prey—mostly insects. Its trapping structure is formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves comes into contact with one or more of the hairs twice in succession, the trap closes!!

Brian and his friends see how this "house plant" eat a little ant!... It was late, so I think the plant was taking a nap lol.

Las plastas carnivoras atrapan y digieren tu preza-- mayormente insectos-- con un sistema muy avanzado. La estructura con la que atrapa su comida tiene varios sensores tipo pelos que detectan inmediatamente a la presa al pararse en ellos y dispara las veloces mandibulas a cerrarse!
