Venus Man Trap


I've always had a fascination with Venus Fly Traps and now that I have 2 plants at my desk window I look at them all the time. All the girls come by my desk and poke at them and act like they're scared. It's fun to imagine that the plants could grow large enough to eat us. They are also very interesting to look at in that they don't just grow straight up like most plants, they twist and turn and even lie on the ground.
While doing this project I looked at them straight on to capture the twisted extreme positions they get into. It works out well for the story I'm creating because these twisted positions make them appear to be moving, as if they are poised for attack.
