Plant shaming should be a thing
(lemmy.world)
the venus fly trap contains small hairs inside of the mouth. It requires two hairs being triggered at the same time to 'chomp'. The chomp action is biologically expensive so the plant can't afford to do it until a proper sized meal will get digested and it will gain net energy.
It also precludes smaller animals with strength from just walking out of the mouth.
The plant did nothing wrong this is just a silly owner!
