Terrestrial
- Very localized to the coast of the Carolinas of the USA.
- Have convex-shaped leaves which require energy to form and, when stimulated quickly (1/10 second), become concave. Further struggling causes tighter closure with formation of air-tight seal (green stomach), which contains digestive enzymes and antimicrobs (kill bacteria and mold). The amount of struggling determines the size of prey and thus the amount of enzymes produced to match.
- Attracts prey with volatile scent that mimics fruit and flowers.
- Digestion of soft parts takes 1-2-weeks, leaving hard parts (exoskeleton) to be disposed of by wind or rain upon reopening.
- Each trap may function 3-4 times then becomes unresponsive.
- If it cannot seal (too large prey, etc.) trap becomes "infected" and necrotic (dies).
- If there is no actual prey, it will open in about 12 hours and expel objects.
- Usually walking prey, spiders, ants, beetles.
