Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
On our walk around Luxembourg, we went to the Natural History Museum, there we sat and relaxed for a little bit. While there I noticed some Venus Flytraps and was looking at them when Marlies came over and explained how they work. It is quite amazing!! When an insect or spider crawls onto a leaf and touches one of the tiny hairs, the trap closes and they are then inside and the plant consumes them. I found on Wikipedia; that only after a second hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first hair being touched, is the trap triggered, this saves energy on objects that have no nutritional value. Nature is wonderful!!
