Mechanism that makes Venus flytraps snap uncovered, study claims
How do Venus flytraps work? New study sheds light on cellular mechanisms Fri 12 Jun 2026 at 4:00am In short: A team of French scientists say they've solved the long-standing mystery of how Venus flytraps shut so quickly. They say that the plants spring shut from softening in the outside of their leaves, but independent researchers say more work needs to be done to confirm this.
Have we finally worked out how Venus flytraps snap shut?
The mystery of how a Venus flytrap closes fast enough to catch insect prey may have been partially solved. Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are triggered to snap shut once hairs in their traps are touched twice in short succession. They are known to be able to catch an array of insects, and even small frogs, and yet how they work has eluded scientists since Charles Darwin.
