When Plants Attack: A Time-Lapse

For a Venus Flytrap

The process continues until all that's left of the insect is its hard exoskeleton. (Unlike humans and other vertebrates, who have an internal rigid skeleton made out of calcified bone tissue, insects and arachnids use a more flexible, external exoskeleton to both protect and form the framework for their bodies.) Once the nutrients are depleted from the acidic bath, the plant reabsorbs the digestive fluid. This serves as a signal to reopen the trap, and the remains of the insect are usually either washed away in the rain or blown away by the wind.

Lovely sound effects.

I want to see what happens after a plant's finished digesting its victim. Does it dissolve the entire thing or does it drop a carcass when it reopens?

Enquiring minds want to know!

Stewart vs. O'Reilly Uncut

notarobot says...

I often disagree with Bill O. Almost always actually. That being the case, there are a few examples of him conducting a top-rate, respectable interview, which he is apparently completely capable of. I found this one a while back of him speaking with Venus Flytrap from WKRP in Cincinnati.

>> ^Opus_Moderandi:

This is probably about as close as I will come to having anything resembling respect for Bill O'Reilly. I've never watched his show and all the videos I see of him make him seem like a complete idiot (even this one). But, watching him with Jon Stewart, there's a genuine camaraderie between them that, well, makes me not hate Bill so much. They disagree on the issue but, they can argue about it without it getting out of hand. I think it's mostly due to Jon Stewart. He seems to bring out the "best" in Bill O'Reilly, if there is such a thing.

Venus Flytrap Devours a Fucking FROG

>> ^GeeSussFreeK:
All this time...my fear of robots blinded me from the true villain of our time. It is time to act and eliminate our flora oppressors once and for all! Death to the CO2 breathers and all their autotrophsic brethren!


That's the exact type of logic that created modern day republicans.

Venus Flytrap Devours a Fucking FROG

>> ^choggie:
^some venus fly trap grow to the size of Galapagos turtles....I have seen one snatch a child from the arms of a curious then horrified mother-good thing we handed her a pocket knife in the nick of time!! The muffled cries of an infant from within the creature's Calzone is something you can never wash away with Heroin....


Dude, that was Child Services, not a plant.

Weird you have lazy moths where you live lol. Actually they're probably all like that I just never pay attention to any of them. At first I thought you named it Seymour butts ha. Isn't that a porno dude? Anyways Walmart's the only place you could go to buy prenatal vitamins and end up leaving with a venus flytrap ha.

I tried and failed at the bonsai thing.. no patience and a black thumb, so I figured a carnivorous plant would appreciate me more. I read I shouldn't have fed it moths, incidentally, LOL. I was catching them with tweezers while they dozed by the lamp..

I named the plant Seymour because that plant made his life hell in Little Shop of Horrors.

Got the flytrap at Walmart, of all freaking places.. Went in to buy prenatal vitamins, left with a flesh-eating plant. Hrm, gotta work on my motherly priorities....... .....heh
