What happens...

[kswitzer]

What happens inside of the flytrap when it catches a fly? I heard there is a movie somewhere that shows the inside during the "eating" process. Anyone know where to get it?

Thanks.

I don't know where you can get the movie of that. But I am pretty sure that the bug crawls around in the trap for a little bit and the trap closes tighter and tighter, until it is completley sealed. Then it releases digestive enzymes that digest the bug, not completley, but it extracts all the "good stuff" from the bug, and then opens back up in a couple weeks ready for it's next victim

oh but it wont always take 2 weeks sometimes only a couple of days all depends on the size of the victem
