Venus' Fly Trap, Venus Flytrap, Venus's Flytrap, Dionaea, carnivorous plant


	Here's a close-up inside the jaws of a Venus' Fly Trap, Dionaea muscipula. These trigger hairs signal the trap to close when two hairs are touched once or one hair is touched twice. Trigger hairs are visible to the human eye, but you have to look closely. This trap design makes the Venus' Fly Trap one of the most fascinating and famous carnivorous plants.
