Fantastic Mr. Flytrap

The Venus flytrap in our kitchen window sill is certainly earning its keep.
It is currently digesting 8, yes EIGHT, flies.


How cool is that!?!

 I learned more about Venus flytraps here, when figuring out the actual digesting part of the plant are the hinged leaves. And they can close in a second! I've never seen the actual capture of a bug, only seen the after effects of a bulging pair of leaves with a dark blob in the middle.
