Venus Flytrap Eating Video

[elgecko]

Made a video today of some VFT's having a meal.

I was going to remove the sound and add music but I noticed on VFT#3 especially & #5 makes a sound when the trap closed. I thought it was interesting to hear.
The last VFT#5 is a 5 minute sequence cut down to 2 second clips every 20 seconds showing the trap sealing itself for digestion of the insect.

Hope you like it.

Nice video. What's the names of the worms? Are they suitable for VFTs? Because it seems that this kind of worms has much fat.

The worm is a what is called a mealworm. It's a larva of a beetle.
I've got hundreds of them since I raise them for to feed my baby Leopard Geckos that are just starting to hatch.

Ahhh mealworms... They serve them deep-fried with cinnamon and sugar at the Audobon Insectarium in New Orleans... They were delish...
