No intros, no outros just Timelapses of mealworms with funky music.
The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) 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 formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs (called "trigger hairs" or "sensitive hairs") on their inner surfaces. - Zábava
Pretty much everyone else noticed it too but cutting the plant out of the dirt and having it fight mealworms is about the same as giving a man a spear, shield, and plate armor, then chaining him to an anchor and sinking him to the ocean floor to fight a giant squid.
Holy shit man the imagery on that one xD.
Just gotta “Rules of Nature” it.
🤣
Bruuuh are you a writer?? You just put a very clear scenery in my mind
I assure you, given the weapons and armor, the anchor is redundant. He'd sink like a stone anyway
Absolutely the best analogy! (poor murdered creature. 😔)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that plant was done wrong.
I am so sad for plant 😔😔 I love plants
@@eyluls6535 Me too. it's sad me.
Yess. I also think the plant was wronged lol.
My mouth literally dropped once I realized what was happening 😤 poor Venus fly trap 😩
It was dead anyway, it was flowering, that’s what the tall part of it is
I've never felt more sorry for a plant in my life 😢
Well guess it's karma for all the flys it's it lol. I do agree though.
It’s becouse you saw it moving and you associate movement with life. If it was any other plant that doesn’t move, you wouldn’t feel the same. :)
ME TOO
As a lover of growing Venus flytraps I'm horrified that someone took such a magnificent specimen and condemned it to death there was zero chance of it surviving
Right? That's a very healthy specimen, and this guy just killed it for no reason.
The reason was very mild Internet notoriety.
Have to admit it was a beautiful flytrap plant
It could have been executed much more interestingly at least. Like I could see this being done as a piece of media intended to stimulate various sensory responses in people because of the almost teratophilic empathetic response carnivorous plants evoke in many people along with the general reaction folks have to things like mealworms. It could have artistic merit or at least value as a decadent neurological treat for which sacrifices were made. However the lazy setup, uninteresting dynamics, and sped up corny music makes it all seem like it exists for clickbait only and while it has some value within that context as a sample of the format it is overall kind of disappointing compared to the potential I could see for it.
Yup, at the VERY least, the mealworms should have been left in "meal" ie flour or other grain, not piled on top of each other like that, I mean it's not like the mealworms can survive their life cycle like that, so totally unnatural! I have mealworms for my birds, if I don't pull the pupa out when they form, the younger mealworms eat them before they can become beetles & that's even with food/living space, but a little crammed for efficiency, so what was the point of this?
I've never fed a live mealworm to any of my carnivorous plants, I'd worry they'd eat through the trap, so it would have been interesting to see if that is the case/what happens when every trap here is full of mealworms, but just dumb to starve the mealworms & force them to consume the flytrap for moisture (which was actually what they were doing, rather than eating it, I give my mealworms carrot bits for that)
I'm so happy that almost everyone here rooted for the flytrap
Yeah cause like there was no root

I'm sorry to interrupt you Elizabeth, if you still even remember that name. But I'm afraid you've been misinformed. You are not here to receive a gift, nor have you been called here by the individual you assume. Although you have indeed been called.
You have all been called here. Into a labyrinth of sounds and smells, misdirection and misfortune. A labyrinth with no exit, a maze with no prize. You don't even realize that you are trapped. Your lust for blood has driven you in endless circles, chasing the cries of children in some unseen chamber, always seeming so near, yet somehow out of reach.
But you will never find them, none of you will. This is where your story ends.
And to you, my brave volunteer, who somehow found this job listing not intended for you. Although there was a way out planned for you, I have a feeling that's not what you want. I have a feeling that you are right where you want to be. I am remaining as well, I am nearby.
This place will not be remembered, and the memory of everything that started this can finally begin to fade away. As the agony of every tragedy should. And to you monsters trapped in the corridors: Be still and give up your spirits, they don't belong to you.
For most of you, I believe there is peace and perhaps more waiting for you after the smoke clears. Although, for one of you, the darkest pit of Hell has opened to swallow you whole, so don't keep the devil waiting, old friend.
My daughter, if you can hear me, I knew you would return as well. It's in your nature to protect the innocent. I'm sorry that on that day, the day you were shut out and left to die, no one was there to lift you up into their arms the way you lifted others into yours. And then, what became of you.
I should have known you wouldn't be content to disappear, not my daughter. I couldn't save you then, so let me save you now.
It's time to rest. For you, and for those you have carried in your arms.
This ends for all of us.
End communication.

Why the comedy music, this is murder 😳
RIP my friend , Your sacrifice would be remembered for ages
I don't understand the thought process behind this person's mind. If you know how long each trap takes to digest an insect how do you expect it to stand a chance here? Of course the poor plant will get eaten before THOUSANDS of worms do. Also it's even less fair for the plant when most of its traps were already closed from the start
This wasn't an experiment! THIS WAS MURDER!
Why you're caring so much bro ! BTW plant is not conscious , on the other hand maggots are conscious creatures. This man is just sick and performing experiment on anything for views and pleasure.
@@jude4736 oh he's sick alright! Idk I just really love the VFTs. They're not conscious like humans but any life thrown away for no reason is a real shame.
@@juanzilla6436 agreed. Doing this in the first place is just murder. Its either cruel to the worms or the plant. Seeing the plant become duller and seeing it die was kinda bad.
@@marsh49 so stepping on grass is murder? Or picking a flower
@@rybonesia7281 Grass don't have a nervous system. It can't feel pain. Also its very flexible so if you walk/run on grass, it don't do anything. However picking a flower CAN be wrong.... Do you pick flowers?
This was the equivalent of making a single angry smoll chihuahua fight a beehive trapped in a small room
I mean you kinda handicapped the Fly Trap without a Pot right?
This person knows how to bread mealworm but probably has no idea how difficult it is to grow a venus fly trap
So difficult that it costs me 5 bucks to buy one in that size?
How is it difficult?
@@AngelaGiftit requires heating humidity rainwater. Then it needs insects once a month at least. Much harder than any other plant that just needs water
Starting off as a seed can also take 2 years to grow.
Yeah bro tell me how long you've kept your Walmart Venus flytrap alive lol they ship in healthy. Wouldn't last a month in your place after purchasing.
It looked like the venus fly trap needed water not only survive, but to thrive amongst the gang of mealworms. It was dry and outnumbered. It probably died of thirst before it died of mealworms. 🙏🏽🕊️🥺
Tbh, I think it was more likely that it ate to much at one time, because it breaks down its food, that had to have been way to much acid with every pod looking like it got a worm, in the end, my money is on indigestion problems
Yeah
@@jusmeh7206 Right! I can agree with that. Some weren't even open🥺
@@trladams78 yeah, such a shame, one sided battle with an awesome plant! 🥺
It was a very frivolous battle and the plant fought until it's very last breath. Respect++
I was expecting a 4 month timelapse of the fly trap slowly eating all of the worms - doesn't it take days just to digest one worm?
Venus Flytrap: "HA! I got you!"
Worms: "No, WE got you..."

Murdering a perfectly healthy and RARE plant for a video.
In the wild they are rare but they arent rare in actuality because theyre so popular
@@raymond8920 i wouldnt say theyre popular, but common enough that you can get your hands on them easily

Justice for the fly trap
I'm just curious, how does one accumulate so many mealworms?
As someone with a lot of meal... it aint hard
That probably was Bill Gates…in the video.
😂😂😂@@user-cd6pz1sg8y
Considering flytraps get their energy from light and water and not the bugs they eat, this wasn't really a fair fight.
@Pintu Rajput they need very little food and are easily overfed from my understanding.
Yeah, they get minerals from the bugs not energy, this video is epic fail
They actually need both... Like all plants they obviously need light and water, but they also get certain vitamins and minerals for the bugs that they consume.
Considering these sort of videos get millions of views....
Not sure what you expected, the fly trap was only ever going to consume as many mealworms as it had traps since it take so long for the plant to digest and then re-activate the trap. This outcome was guaranteed without ever even needing to test it 🙄
What was wanted was views… people will do anything to get views and the potential to earn money for this stuff.
Wait what? You need to add the worms TO the plant, while the plant is still watered and not about to dry up and die ...
I really expected better from V.F. Trap. Then I remembered that it takes probably a week to digest one bug before it opens up for another one. but it was a noble effort.
Poor bastard.
Man that is just cruel to do to a plant that only grows where I'm from. Those things are so rare and so picky about growing. That plant may have been small but it definitely wasn't a young plant.
Where r u frm
@@singhnagra1540 NC
Those things are super rare and endangered in the wild, that video was murder. Not cool!
@@timothyharris1125 agreed. They are endangered in the wild as a result of local farmers around here picking the wild flowers and cultivating them for export. These plants are not hard to find in shops and the like, but it results in things like this where people actively kill these plants, but farmers still get their dollars so they keep breeding them for irresponsible people.
They aren’t rare.
Of course, this wouldn't work.
1) The plant is too small
2) it has no water, soil and sunlight key components to survive
3) a fly trap that small takes a long time to digest insects
Idk why you said that a flytrap that size takes a while. It's a flytrap at any size lol. Plus that's an adult plant which you can obviously see from the big flower.
That plant needs water and sun light but it doesn’t need soil
@@tehutizephaniah2627 you are wrong they do need soil and water but no sunlight

@@Yappinton you making fun of my dyslexia boy?
Me too!!
He got the views he wanted out of it, how was the plant "wasted"?
Being angry because someone did a thing with a common plant they bought is a bit weird ngl.
The time lapse shows that the durability of a flytrap is enough to keep up with this many critters, it was only when it died of thirst and malnourishment that it got weak.
The plant started decomposing and thats when these meal worms had an advantage, their food was breaking down infront of them and making it easier to chew.
I always wondered why in nature, bugs dont just chew their way out of a flytrap,
And I guess I found my answer, theyre durable enough to withstand biting, or, their surface offers no leverage for a bite to clamp down on.
I'm actually not sure if those meal worms managed much progress at the end of the video, looks about the same as it did when it fully dried up, I think the venus won here.
Venus Fly Trap: _eats a couple mealworms_
The remaining mealworms: *and I took that personally*
I feel more bad for the plant 😭 im having so much difficulty finding venus fly traps here, and this THING just MURDERED it
The fly traps can defeat all the meal worms if it has a unlimited water
That was an unfair fight
Venus Flytraps: yay! We’re at the buffet! 😊
Mealworms: Yes!, yes, we are! 😈
Venus fly trap gets devoured by mealworms
Flies of the world : watching, cheering up and crying tears of joy
It was like eating piranhas while you're swimming in a pond full of piranhas.
Rest in peace, carnivore plant (Venus flytrap), you won't be forgotten.
😅
Mine dried out almost like this, but darker - then my uncle threw it away, "Well it's dead!!", he said.
So I was content for awhile until I read that this is what they actually do! They look dead but in process of sprouting newer ones!
...but that one in the vid looked prety darn fried though...

Even if it was kept in dirt for the operation, it would've ended up dying.
These plants cannot eat too much or else they'll die. If every single one of these traps were fed at a time, the plant would probably die of an overdose of food.
But it could certainly eat quite a few worms with its traps.
DAME!
That plant lasted 27 hours!
I got a feeling that if it was a more common plant that's easier to care for, no one would bat an eye. We're definitely biased lol
This is horrific, why the hell would you do this to that poor plant?!
The plant wanted to be take cared of not getting destroyed by mealworms
This was like watching a lopsided Pokémon battle. A million Weedles vs one Victreebel.
It's intetesting how the traps themselves stayed mostly intact, as if the mealworms had no interest in them. They looked dried out more than chewed up, and that one mealworm that got caught at the beginning wasn't even released.
I’ve got my fly traps in a beautiful pot like in my picture, I could never do that to her. I call her Medusa 💗💗 I love my plants so much, this is murder🥺

Nice job! You pulled a plant from the soil and water it needs to survive and watched it slowly die.. you should do one of the grass from your lawn vs ants next. I wonder what would happen there 🤔
That plant looks like it mostly just dried up :/
@@Zackisnotdeadyou're right. They have to have special soil to live too. Regular dirt will kill them.
@@Mark-ff3vo Yeah, doesn’t look like the mealworms even did much damage. Even under the “experiment” guise, they could have just cut a part of the plant and given it to the mealworms instead of just throwing an expensive plant in for certain death.
@@Mark-ff3vo Essentially, they just wasted and killed that plant for nothing
That worm that went into the mouth was lonely and gave up on life. 😢
"Tell the other flytraps, the insects send their regards."
Of course the mealworms won. Venus fly traps take like 14 days to digest anything and it takes a lot of energy to do it
the amount of energy the Venus Fly trap requires to eat one worm...
Lol that one fly trap whos mouth got opened as if the worms were saying " yo Mf, let our friend go dawg, oh u wanna ignore us, yo larry hinge this mans jows as far as you can, YOU WISH YOU HAD LISTENED TO US NOW HUH FOOL!?"
This is like one of these cellphone-games where a castle must defend against 10.000 soldiers.

How do you eat? What do you call that? Animal eats plant it's murder you eat plants its....?
@@miket7390 Venus flytraps are a different kind of plant, not tasty and more alive than others. It’s really different from alot of plants. We don’t eat random grass on the ground.
@@TheresNoWay. so is it murder to eat a plant? Lol
@Hut exactly my point! The person saying its murder by default has to be a murderer. They do far worse than what we saw here. Yet don't have the wherewithal to grasp that. Everything kills. Humans are taught not to kill other humans and certain things otherwise he would kill each other like we do flies or rats in the pantry just trying to eat. All while not thinking twice about it.
@Hut and to take it one step further. Most people know exactly how chicken nuggets are made and where they come from. They like me just don't care. If you pluck its feathers I'll ring it's neck and bleed it. I just find the microwave version easier. People aint dumb 4 year olds know that nugget was at one point a breathing chicken. Don't confuse naive with not caring! I realize everything I eat is a gift I'm lucky to enjoy. Soon enough the worms and maggots will make a meal of me. And the chickens will eat them and so goes this thing of ours.
I was expecting a Venus flytrap feasting to these worms. Well, here we are.

Poor plant. It tried so hard but died in the end. Sigh, in the end, even humans will end up like this. No matter how hard one tries to escape, death will always catch up. One day, just like the plant, we humans will be eaten by worms. This is a highly philosophical and enlightening video.

@@hughmungus1562 that makes no sense. Do you want people to not eat anything? You are mad they’re sad about a plant but calling them a hypocrite for eating animals? Would you rather them feel sad for a plant and then go eat plants? Even if it was an animal it would still be acceptable to feel empathy for it even though you eat meat. It was thrown into an environment just to be killed for no good reason at all, we kill and eat animals to survive but we also live with animals like cats and dogs for companionship. Eating other animals for energy is just part of nature. Are crocodiles and lions evil for hunting other animals?

*after so many years*
Plant: oh I'm finally like how I should be.
*this man destroyed it in 27 hours*
it probably died of thirst before even getting eliminated by the mealworms
How awful, I didn’t realize meal worms could be that destructive😢 poor little plant, didn’t have a chance. 😔
