Ever wondered what would happen if you put your finger in a venus flytrap?

Please note: This shouldn't be tried at home. Each fly trap can close 3 or 4 times before it dies off so doing this sort of thing isn't good for the plant. I did it merely for demonstration purposes to help confront the myth that somehow these plants could rip your fingers off :)

Dude flytraps are awesome but my stupid cat had to kill mine before
It could grow

[TheAlexxManReviewer]

Sure, it seems innocent enough...until it starts singing...

Not sure where I got that particular one, but triffid nurseries (type in google) is the place I usually get mine from.

lol the way you describe them at 0:12 made me laugh

[warifamily]

What happens if you hold your finger there for some days?

[PaladinswordSaurfang]

What if you put one venus flytrap in another and make it eat itself? Or make them join like enzymes or like a zipper so each 'mouth' has one half of two other 'mouths'?

@keeganrock Venus fly traps aren't really hard to grow but they EXTREMELY hard to maintain. It will die on you even if you think you're doing everything right.

@MGRaiden64 No, its a pressure/chemical reactions in the leaves/stem

[MaplemageKnight]

Put a land mine inside it and watch it nom nomm nommmm boom.

[PianoDisneygal]

The plant is thinking "Must be blood! Must be fresh! Feed me, Seymour!"

[lovegirl]

so um... how is it dangerous to insects? not to us? cuz arent there like poison in it or some thing?

[Koldatt]

@XxxTenebraexxX actually, the plant can survive off of mostly water. its a bog plant. i think it does need some bugs, but it should be fine reguardless.

[zupazora]

trap: mine!
person:yoink!
trap: tasty

[InfernoFlame]

didn't that happen in little shop of horrors?

[tjv]

@lovegirl12245 no it just traps the bugs in there until they starve to death. then it digests it. very very slowly

[maximumxxx]

lol probley the venus fly tap was "OH DAMN BOYS I GOT ME A BIGG ONE TONIGHT!!" ;D

[ShinySilvergames]

i always thought those spikes would stab through your finger and it would kill you from sheer pain.. in .. the finger..

[KingNemba]

yeah...now leave is there for a year and see if it doesn't get digested

[BroccoliBeefed]

But if you left it there it would dissolve your flesh

[orangegold]

I felt so dumb after remembering that it's just two leafs... .-.
