In A Trap in Bloom: The Venus Flytrap’s Double Life, narrator Sir David Attenborough introduces the Venus flytrap, a carnivorous plant that attracts insects with sweet nectar on its leaves. When an insect triggers the hairs on the trap, it snaps shut. After a few days it reopens, leaving only the insect’s dry remains. However, Venus flytraps also need to pollinate, so it grows tall flowers away from its traps, allowing insects to safely feed on nectar and spread pollen, ensuring the plant can reproduce. This video is excerpted from BBC's Life, a show that explores the remarkable strategies animals and plants use to ensure their survival.
