Grow Carnivorous Plants!

I didn’t see the actual closure, but I happened to pass by this flytrap when the fly was still alive. The music in the background was a radio commercial happening at the same time. I didn’t realize how comical the music was until I watched the video.  It’s an odd carnivorous plant comedy/tragedy.

The flytrap is the dente variety, which has shorter teeth than the typical flytrap. Because of the shorter teeth, some prey can escape if they’re quick enough. This prey just wasn’t quick enough, so it’s head got caught. This is a common occurrence with the dente variety. You don’t see this with typical flytraps because their longer teeth keep their prey in place.
