The diagram depicts how minor and major Venus Flytrap species capture small prey to maximize their use of digestive enzymes. Overall, both of them cr ist of 3 steps, beginning with catching
the insects and ending with captivating the nutrition from their victims.
At the beginning, the small trap traps the insect by some special trigger hairs. After that, their snaps close tightly to keep their victim inside and release the digestive enzymes. At the end of this process, the insect is broken down to becomes food, which is absorbed by the little Venus Flytrap.
On the other hand, the large trap has a more complex and specific way than the small one. As can be seen, the big trap still use its trigger hairs to catch the insect. However, it do not close tightly like the small trap due to the size of the insect. Finally, because the insect is tiny, the big Venus Flytrap let it go. This strategy prevent the plants from wasting their enzymes on small prey.
