Given that my research is on insectivorous (specifically Drosera, but rotundifolia, rather than capensis, which was shown here) and parasitic plants, this did make me very happy.

Oh wow! I love the way the flytraps open, with the combs uncurling like tentacles, and the flower stalk of the honeydew uncoiling, blossom by blossom.
I would have liked to see the traps opening up after having caught a meal, showing the empty, partially crumbled carapace within. THAT would have been creepy.

FEEED ME!
Time lapse pictures of plants are creepy enough. Time lapse pictures of carnivorous plants….ugh.
At least four different classes of prey. They aren’t particular.
