Dionaea muscipula (Venus Flytrap)

Here’s a second picture from July 30, again from the Green Swamp in southern North Carolina. The first year we visited we saw a lot of Venus flytraps. The second year it was very dry and we didn’t see any at all. Last year and this they were back in large numbers and we stopped to get a few new pictures. They are a bit hard to photograph, partly because they are so small.

Here you can see a few open “traps” as well as one that has closed, presumably on some prey.
