The Venus Flytrap has little 'trigger' hairs that need to be 'tickled' for the Venus Flytrap to close.

There are little hairs inside its traps. When the bug touches at least 2 of them, it is like an alarm and the trap closes.

That depends on how healthy the plant is. If it is unhealthy, it may take a few seconds to shut where as if it is healthy it should take less than 1 second to shut.
