The Venus Flytraps trap consists of 2 lobes, like a clam shell. There are glands on each lobe which secret nectar to lure insects. Inside each lobe are 3 to 4 small trigger hairs toward the centre. When a insect touches 2 trigger hairs or 1 trigger hair twice within 20th of a second the trap will snap shut. The trap then presses the 2 lobes together sealing the insect inside. Then glands on the inner surface secret digestive juices which dissolves the insect. The fluid is then reabsorbed by the plant. After 4 - 10 days the trap will open again, exposing what is left of the insect, the exoskeleton.
