    could be a number of things, including trap age, water, soil, light, and many other factors; the hairs also have to be stimulated in rapid succession by a living insect for it to close all the way, perhaps it knows the bug was already dead lol 🤷‍♀️

    They don’t typically like already dead bugs. Its the bugs movement that makes the jaws close tight

    OK, I’ll be sure to activate their trigger hairs

      They have to stay alive for a certain amount of time after full Closure to trigger the plant to produce the digestive juices. The only way I know of to feed it with dead bugs is there’s a way you can do it with dried blood worms. Not sure much more

    Get some mealworm! I use reptile food mealworms from the pet store. Just feed them on cucumber and put some plain oats in and they last ages
