Biomechanical analyses and computer simulations reveal the Venus flytrap snapping mechanisms - Phys.org

The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) takes only 100 milliseconds to trap its prey. Once their leaves, which have been transformed into snap traps, have closed, insects can no longer escape. Using biomechanical experiments and virtual Venus flytraps a team fr…
