Do Venus Flytraps really clamp down on insects or do they simply suck them in? Can they stretch themselves out to "grab" insects? Also, can they eat anything besides insects?

I kept one for a year or so before it died, not sure why, maybe too cold or not enough flies. Anyway, here tells you all about them. http://science.howstuffworks.com/venus-flytrap.htm Aug 23 03, 8:05 PM

ehem... as I was saying before I accidentally closed the window... that site is not good enough (at least not for me since I have two venus fly traps, two cobra lilies and two sundews... thinking of getting more species) anyways here is all YOU probably want to know about VFTs. http://www.sarracenia.com/faq.html if you have any more questions you can go to: http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/carnivor/?15616 (gardenweb.com ... you can post any question about plants and other things... and I DO mean ANY. like "what herbs can you urinate on" and other things... not like this site that everything has to be perfect and that if it insults anyone you get banned) Aug 23 03, 9:35 PM
