The modified leaves (trap) have super sensitive hairs on the inner surface; any movement to the hairs (normally more than once to prevent false closures), results in the "trap" shutting capturing the insect between the leaves. Digestive enzymes are then released killing and digesting the soft body contents of the insect.
