Dionaea muscipula 'Arasmile' - CarniVFT201
Dionaea muscipula 'Arasmile' has such a broad “smile” that it might seem to have the best of intentions. But do not be deceived. It uses its broad trap lobes to lure insects to their death. Prey is attracted by the plant’s bright red upper surfaces. When touch the tiny hairs on the upper leaf surface they trigger the trap, which snaps firmly shut.
