While setting that shot up I practised with a series of shots of plants that I hope to use in a stack. The fly ended up as a snack for my new Venus fly trap (Dionaea muscipula). This is the fly trap in question. I think you should be able to make out the three trigger hairs on either side of the leaf trap.

The surface of the inside of the traps is coated in a type of nectar that attracts the insects [url=http://digitao.co.uk/images/flora/venus_close.jpg] [img]http://digitao.co.uk/images/flora/venus_close_sm.jpg[/img] [/url] This third shot is just about the closest I could get. This is the trigger hair that, if touched two or three times, will cause the trap to close.
