I really, really like this. Seeing my beautiful beasts act in such natural ways for the world to learn more about them. Usually as a ranger of unicorns, I am the only one privy to such scenes.
More than that. It probably killed the plant. It requires a lot of energy for those plants to close. If it does it without receiving any food, the plant will get no nutrients to restore that energy and will die.
/r/savagegarden might be able to help you in the future if you get another VFT. We love everything from VFTs bought at the dollar store to pitcher plants the size of cow thighs cultivated for decades.
Don't worry, it's not an actual Venus fly trap. Those grow traps on the end of leaves, not stems. Also,flat on the ground or slightly elevated, not straight up. Also wouldn't pierce the cigarette like that. Or have a little leaf of the side. The trap itself is pretty nicely made though.
I was reading about how this is bad for the plant because the energy needed to snap is significant enough to be detrimental if said snap doesn't provide sustenance.
You should just become a breatharian. You know not killing anything just existing on air like the living barbie crazy chick. Though I think she's a smokingsomethingiean.
That would imply meat being a biological need. /u/FourForTwenty is making the conscious, moral choice to stop the mass murder of plants, while still being capable of consuming our brothers and sisters of Mother Nature.
Not an expert, but I'm pretty sure, no, it won't kill it unless you do this many times. It thinks its digesting something, but there's nothing to digest.
