The exact mechanism for this phenomena is still widly unknown. What we do know is that the "mouth" on the plant has little "sensor hairs" that somehow sends a signal that initiates the closing of the trap. The actual closing of the trap is probably a result of a change in turgor pressure within the trap, itself. In other words, the water in the plant is redistributed to fill the trap.
