Description: In this particular video I tried doing one of my usual 'flytrap biting finger' videos, but as you can see, the trap wasn't interested. There's a reason for this. When a Venus Flytrap has closed multiple times, people think they immediately die off, but this isn't always the case. A lot of times, as in this example, it simply disables it's triggering mechanism and opens as wide as possible - the reason for this is to collect as much sunlight as possible to provide photosynthesis for the plant :)
