When prey comes in contact with the trigger of a predatory trap, such as a carnivorous plant or a specialized animal trap, it typically activates a mechanism that leads to the capture of the prey. This trigger may cause rapid movement of the trap's parts, such as snapping shut or closing around the prey. Once captured, the predator can then immobilize or consume the prey for nutrition. This mechanism enhances the predator's ability to secure food in environments where it may be scarce.

If your Venus flytrap isn't growing any cilia (trigger hairs), it may not be able to sense when prey is present to trigger its closing mechanism.

How do jellyfish attack their pray?
Jellyfish attack their prey using specialized cells called nematocysts, which contain tiny, harpoon-like structures that can inject venom. When a jellyfish comes into contact with potential prey, such as small fish or plankton, these nematocysts trigger and release toxins, paralyzing or immobilizing the prey. The jellyfish then uses its tentacles to pull the captured prey towards its mouth for consumption. This method allows them to efficiently incapacitate and consume their food without needing to chase it down.

When a potential prey comes into contact with the cnidarian, the nematocysts discharge and inject toxins, effectively subduing the target.
