The answer is that the plant can sense the weight on itselfe, so it knows the spider is there

[@KeraunosII]

My guess was the weight of the spider to the trap causing it to close but idkkkk

[@Peter_Anthony]

The plant knows where the the spider is by knowing where it isn't.

[@Angel_Underscore]

I think it subtracts where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is. Whichever is greater.

It is because the cells in their leaves are light sensitive just like other plants, so when the spider sits there for long enough the cells realize they aren't getting any light and being touched. Plants have nerves, or more accurately a facsimile of them.

Plants can sense when something is blocking light from their leaves, triggering them to close like a trap. The spider triggered the Venus flytrap to close by blocking the light from reaching the plant's cells.

Fun fact about spiders: it looks like they aren’t moving because we’re just so much bugger than they are, but they shift/wiggle their legs slightly here and there to identify the surrounding environment. I think you can see the spider slightly shift its position just before the trap closes. It may have just moved the tiniest bit, and just so happened to bump the trigger hair(s) enough to finally close. EDIT: it’s also possible in my head that it shifted its blood around and the vibration of it happened to trigger a hair. But that’s just me being extra.

[@NOVABEAR_]

While the three hairs are the primary triggers for the rapid closure, Venus flytraps can also respond to other stimuli, like pressure or movement on the trap. This means they might close if something heavy sits on them, even if it doesn’t trigger the hairs. The hairs primarily help ensure a quick response to fast-moving prey, but the plant is adaptable and can sense other cues as well.

Venus fly traps dont activate just from one trigger hair touch. It takes 2 trigger hair touches in a short time frame. And there could be a few reasons why it took so long, but each trap in the plant operates semi-independently. My theory is that the trap the spider laid in had just recently reopened and is "resetting"

[@ricardopardo6177]

As stated in the video, the plant grows on the outer side to close. It has to grow on the inner side to open. After a couple of closes, it has to go through a few rounds of mitosis to prepare for another close. The spider probably triggered the hairs when the plant didn't have the ability to close. When it had regained the ability, it closed. It seems to close quite slowly at the end, which would be consistent with this hypothesis.

[@theidiotwithnoname2801]

As the ex smart friend, I would have to say it's a form of geotropism, and that it can most likely feel that that part of itself is more affected by gravity, or that the spider was touching a trigger hair, but not moving it.

[@daani1733]

Still, if the spider was completely still, that should’ve happened much earlier than 20 minutes.

[@Chiillxer]

@@daani1733why should it happen faster? The trap is designed to close at a certein threshhold of stimuli. One Single stimulus can exceed the threshhold. But also very small stimuli can be accumulated to exceed the threshhold.

[@daani1733]

@@Chiillxer But that would indicate that the spider wasn’t completely still, it was continuously moving, albeit very slightly. My question simply was that if the spider was completely still, that would’ve either happened much earlier or never, because the variables which can cause the leaf to shut would have always stayed the same. A better, shorter answer to my question would’ve been “well, you were incorrect to think that the spider was completely still, because it wasn’t. It was slightly, but continuously moving which eventually added up causing the leaf to trap it.” You can argue that the spider itself wasn’t moving, rather the gravity was moving it, but physically that still means that the spider was in a state of motion, which means it was moving.

[@grafzeppelin6954]

Since Venus Flytraps need a prey to trigger two separate of their traps' trigger hairs subsequently within an interval of approximately 20s and the spider obviously didn't move at all, I would suspect the following scenario: Though it doesn't seem like it, the animal is still moving its legs, pedipalps and abdomen slightly. Additionally, it sits right on top of the hairs which could be bent due to this position. It doesn't take much stimulation to trigger these hairs so the minimal movements could have been enough action potential. Additionally, the dragline the spider pulls may be another potential trigger source. It can be seen to the right and is apparently under tension. If it got entangled or attached to one of the hairs, it might be an actuation cause without the spider even moving itself.

Yet another.. edit: also this species of fly trap contains special sensory cells, detecting light, and sound waves using stimulus motion ( look above ) To make the decision to close the trap!

The flower knows because.. When the spider overstaying, spider’s transmute that stillness into micro vibrations.. micro vibrations triggered the flower’s hair hence would signaling the core’s hair that the food is indeed in the trap.

never thought i'd say this but damn thats one beautiful spider. such a shame he turned into venus fodder

[@wilcoxway]

Venus fly traps function via a chemical change in the base of the leaves, which are held under tension. This chemical change occurs gradually whenever the trigger hairs receive a certain amount of stimulation. So my guess is that having the spider parked on top of the trigger hairs is providing a very slow amount of trigger hair stimulation. Thus, the trap leaf eventually broke tension and closed.

[@BROIMACAT]

A spiders leg works like a water hydraulic and has liquid running through to make it extend out. When it's leg was caught earlier in the video it's skin could've been punctured causing the liquid to trigger the hairs.

[@warboss3686]

Venus fly traps generally take liquid into account and do not trigger if liquid is run through. It’s how they avoid opening and closing multiple times during rain. No what happened is that the person recording tapped on the pot causing it to move shifting the spider to trigger the hair

[@superghost3736]

Spiders actually make very quick movements that are hard to see with the naked eye, and they do this so they can survey their area since they have little to no vision so the spider hit one of the trigger hairs with its quick leg movements while it was surveying its surroundings

[@bonnie9855]

Yeah if you look closely you can see it move its back leg. Something similar happens to use when we're sitting in a car, we seem to be sitting still but our body is constantly making tiny movements and adjustments to keep us stabilised

It didn’t get tired It got too drunk💀

[@BabyBenz96]

I think that maybe the spider triggered the hairs when it entered the last trap but the plant had already expended most of its energy from closing the others so it took a long time to slowly feed enough energy to close. I figure this because I know that these plants often die because they expend all their energy closing empty traps.

[@TKayCO]

I heard they die from false closes because they end up digesting themselves as nothing is inside to be digested. This was written on a sign in the bush saying not to touch the flytraps.

[@davak72]

If you rewatch the video a few times, you’ll see the uploader bumped the pot a few times to force the trap to trigger… pretty disappointing in my opinion

[@cassie4759]

I’m still confused about the “spider getting drunk” part???

[@TheOriginalChefCaleb]

I think it is because the spider was bending a trigger hair, so you said the plant is learning and closing on a way it shouldnt, the flytrap realises there is something there because a hair is bent.

[@haraldalan8711]

👁️👄👁️

[@foolwise4703]

Could it be chemically sensing ("smelling") the spider? After the trap closes, it must have some chemical sensor to evaluate if it caught food or just dirt, without first producing digestive fluid. That same sensor must also be connected to the closing mechanism, as it has to tell the trap to remain shut. It would also likely be a slowly acting sensor. So, when the spider volunteers to sit still for 20 minutes, the plant might "smell" that it caught something and suddenly remember to keep its mouth closed.

[@evansattaasamoah2985]

I think it's the best theory of the comment section! I really like it!

[@fobija1378]

That reminds me of experiment I did at school. We were studying how plants reacts to sun so we took some tape and cover half of plants leaf and over some time the taped plants part become dark green as it wasn't getting sun.

[@gabrielchavez1376]

Good guess, but I'm fairly sure the opening mechanism is if the object inside does not continue to trigger any more hairs once caught. Normal prey would struggle, while leaves or rocks would not.

[@Kayton_Ryu]

@@gabrielchavez1376That's exactly what is going on. The trigger hairs are not only letting the trap know when to close but also provides information on what they caught is worth keeping.

[@Loveybuggi]

I thought the same concept except that it was smelling what the spider had already gotten drunk off of from it I’m not too sure tho I’m no genius when it comes to spiders or plants

[@foxykillz808]

Plant was probably just laughing for 20 minutes like, "bro is he dumb or what? 😅" "oh yeah i should probably get him.. "

[@Malfunction290]

My friend said that because no living thing can stay perfect still, the spider was moving a little bit. The plant also sensed the body heat that the spider was giving off.

[@EMM575]

The plant can’t sense heat to that degree, even if it could it wouldn’t close, if it did it would close with every little heat from the sun or wvr, and you are correct no living thing can be perfectly still, really nothing can, even at absolute zero, but most likely scenario it landed on a trigger hair just enough to the point where all it needed was a tiny twitch to close

[@Urkki24]

My conclusion was that you can see the spider leaving a thin thread of web behind it and the web actived the trap. You can see it moving a little before the trap catches it.

[@BurniStrange]

The webs. The spider spun webs everywhere it went. Likely a breeze triggering the hairs.

[@scotty3739]

I think the spider brushed a hair to such a small degree that it didn't activate, then when the spider moves a tiny amount the hair activates.

[@Doyle69]

The spider forced most of the opened ones to close, if all of them closed with no food the plant could die from using too much energy on wasted captures. The venus fly trap knew something had touched, with nothing touching again it must mean something has remained there and closes in hopes it is a meal and recover :)
