These seeds are for various colored Venus Flytraps including red, green and yellow, and many in-between colors. Some will have traps that are a different color than the plant!

The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina.

It catches its prey-chiefly insects and arachnids-with a trapping structure triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against wasting energy by trapping objects with no nutritional value, and the plant will only begin digestion after five more stimuli to ensure it has caught a live bug worthy of consumption.

Generally the traps close quickly. Speed of closing can vary depending on the amount of humidity, light, and general growing conditions. The speed with which traps close can be used as an indicator of a plant's general health. 

If the prey is unable to escape, it will continue to stimulate the inner surface of the lobes, and this causes a further growth response that forces the edges of the lobes together, eventually sealing the trap hermetically and forming a "stomach" in which digestion occurs

Digestion takes about ten days, after which the prey is reduced to a husk of chitin. The trap then reopens, and is ready for reuse.

Venus flytraps are not as humidity-dependent as are some other carnivorous plants.

Plants can be propagated by seed, and are long-lived plants, often multiplying when conditions are favorable.
