Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A wonderfully-interesting carnivorous plant, the sticky tentacles attract and catch flies and other bugs.

Contact triggers a curling reaction, where the plant wraps up its prey and eventually digests and absorbs the victim's nutrients.

This scene was about 4 hours in real-time, while I was working in the morning.

Made with a Canon SX100IS + CHDK.
