He sits and waits for flies to land so the traps will close on them.
Until he gets antsy and feeds them dead flies he's found instead.

I can't take my eyes off those plants when I see them. The word 'triffid' springs to mind!
Wow that's crazy fascinating. I could see myself watching this for awhile!
Love the photos. Such an interesting world we live in.

I've never seen one in action. Now I'm tempted!
What a cool gift!! You know me...I'm already dying to get my hands on a fly trap so I can photograph it in action!
Wow, cool present.
Venus Fly Traps used to scare me. Maybe I saw Little Shop Of Horrors too many times growing up. lol.
I recently watched a television program that had a segment on how Venus flytraps work, which was different than how I thought. It made them even more fascinating to me.
Now, I have one very persistent fly in my house that needs to meet its demise, so if he rents out, I'd consider it!
I had one of these once! They are fascinating!
I think you can see footage of fly traps eating on youtube. Your son would love it!
We have a fly problem in our house this summer and just yesterday my kids and I were talking about getting a fly trap plant. I wonder where I could buy one? My kids would love it!
Just don't fertilize it or you won't be comfortable sleeping at night!... they are great gifts and lots of fun to watch -- if you're not a fly!... thanks for sharing and for your wonderful comment on my first vlog...

They are cool in a creepy sort of way.

Eeeew...but in a cool way. I think they are neat plants.
Hop on over to my blog. I have think link to the chat room up and running.
True story: when I was a kid I was terrified of touching one of these because I was afraid it would snap closed and eat my finger.
They are so neat...I had one as a kid....MANY, MANY, MANY years ago.
I gave you a blog award today :)
There is so much to see in this crazy world. If we just stop and look around once in a while we would see a lot of fun things. It is amazing what nature provides. Great picture
Oooo!! I want one!!
