The Venus fly trap appears like a pocket wallet meant for storing coins, the difference being it doesn’t have a closing zip and does have numerous spikes on the leaf’s edges. These leaves are light green on the outer surface and carry a mouth-red shade in the inner trap. The plant traps the bug inside these trappy leaves once the bug lends on the open leaves and creates tension on the plant’s sensitive hair. The digestion process takes about ten days to complete, after which the Venus fly trap is again ready for another feast!

The leaves of the Venus flytrap snaps shut if its tiny hairs are brushed twice by an unsuspecting bug.
