I guess this trap caught a bug that was a little too big again.
It’s the second time that an ulcer has formed on one of this plant’s traps after it caught a bug that was a little on the big side. I saw a TikTok video explaining that sometimes the trap will survive and it will just have a hole in the side, but I’m not holding out any hope for that. The last one just died. Fortunately,the rest of the plant seems healthy.
I didn’t know this could even happen, I thought the trap could digest whatever it caught. Interesting!
