What's Inside A Venus Flytrap?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2019
- Venus flytraps rarely catch flies, despite their name - instead, spiders and ants make up most of their diet. When a victim walk by and brushes against a trigger hair on the inside of the trap’s modified leaves, it sets off an electrical signal. If the bug doesn’t escape within 20 to 30 seconds, the trap slams shut faster than you can blink!

“About 4 times faster than you can blink!”
*Blinks while it’s closing and it’s still closing*
yea its like 0 times faster
It reacts fast, but the closing is not that fast. Still amazing though.

Modern problem requires modern solutions

What's the point of reacting fast if you cannot move just as fast? Oh boy, a stone is gonna hit me, better move my arm up in like 5 minutes
"Faster than you can blink." I feel so sorry for your eyes.
Lmao
Did you blink on purpose too? 😊😆
@@reirei7851 true, that realy makes a big difference
well we can only observe the last moments where it moves a whole lot slower

This makes me want to plant a few hundred carnivorous plants around my house. Never finding bugs inside my home sounds like a dream.
I’d be like a giant bug trap that attracts bugs, but worst case scenario they don’t eat them all and your house becomes a bug attraction.
In ancient Egypt, you were considered blessed and/or favored by multiple gods and goddesses if you had lizards in your house. They ate all the mosquitos carrying diseases and virii, keeping the food and residents healthy and water supplies free of egg clutches.
If you have lizards, you're a third of the way there. Flytrap flora help a lot. As well as non-venomous carnivorous spiders that nest in webs in corners of ceilings. Live in harmony with these things and you'll be happy.
Good luck with that dream there were always be bugs in your house
@@tracygardner6318 That's okay. I don't mind the cute ones, like pill bugs. Even spiders I try to save and release outside if I know they're not a harmful kind (and they're not large.)

Been *OBSESSED* with carnivorous plants since I was a kid in NC where my elementary school had a nature trail with Venus fly traps and pitcher plants. Just thought it was the coolest thing.
same, I remember my family used to bought me nepenthes every 2-3 months when I was a kid...
Dude same I want a venus so BAD
Did the air at the trail smell really nice, due to the carnivorous plants?
Same, when I was 9 I saw Nepenthes for the first time and I fell in love, I've grown neps and other carnivorous plants since,
It’s all fun and games until that one dumbass kid puts his finger in it.
I saw these in a botanical garden I went to with a friend. The thing that surprised me the most is that they're actually really small. I've only ever seen closeup shots of them, and whenever they're portrayed in fiction they're shown to be HUGE, so I always thought they'd have to be at least the size of my hand. But no, one flytrap is smaller than my pinkie finger.
I've always been very curious to know what's inside a flytrap.

These are by far the coolest carnivorous plants you can get always fun to observe. I live in the uk and often collect round leaf sundews which are native here and they also have a very interesting way of trapping but the sudden close of the Venus makes it by far the best

When we think of plants, very few of us really think of these types of plants. They are fascinating, as they produce and prepare everything to catch their prey. This very good video!
But can you explain how the hell this plant got in to smash while waluigi didn't?

My mom had gotten my sister and myself a venus fly trap when we were little. We used to feed it little bits of raw hamburger meat. Such a cool plant, we would get so excited when it would open back up wanting more food. The huge ones that live in the rainforest and can eat whole birds or small rodents are so cool and beautiful looking.
Carnivorous plants are easily one of the most interesting things ever.
Nature is incredible
Imagine being the first person to discover this thing like “does that plant have teeth? DID IT JUST EAT THAT SPIDER?!”

How in the hell did this plant evolve to do this? And about how long did it take?🤔🤔🤔
HL Watts 3:26
It didn't.
@@meepcity48 That tells us "Why" they evolved to eat bug. I'm asking "How" did the plant develop the mechanism to do it?
@@hlwatts9979 These all depend on random chance created by their genetic diversity, higher diverse you are more chance you can get in evolution. In sort, it is all bc of coincidence.
It is not how the plants want to develop, it is because there were high biodiversity and intense competition during ancient time. Plants as well as animals, try their best to survive, due to mutation and selection, some mechanisms/characteristics were kept till now but the other just die out.
Ex. A group of plants lived in the place at 3:27 , they might all develop their own features(we don't know bc they all die out now). One day one of them can absorb nutrient from leaves! Then this new specie grew stronger, its population colonized rapidly, no one can compete with it. Then the place were covered with this plant...until one day, one of them can catch insect with leaves! Then not only the new plant can absorb nutrition randomly from its leaves also can catch its own prey, the higher efficiency of getting nutrition makes it become new conqueror of these area.......ect. Similar procedure carry on for a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time till today the flytrap we see. This is all bc of coincidence of mutation, selection.
Otherwise, there might had be more strange weird plants or creatures than flytrap if they had not be replaced by other species(the ancestry of flytrap).
@@hlwatts9979 Evolution is a dumb theory. Everything was created by a Creator. Anyone with half a brain could figure it out.
