Venus Child Trap

Edited an image of a Stokes Aster bud that I took last evening to resemble the "people eating plants"of my childhood nightmares! I was petrified of Venus Fly Traps until I saw how small they are...But there ARE huge meat eating plants out there!
For the Childhood-Nightmare competition. Join the creepy fun!

LOL I know about those large ones- my niece was eaten by one of them on stage! Great picture for your childhood fears- it really captures that.

Scary, and the thread makes it more so. Why is it tonight I can't sleep

[Captured4Ever]

Definitely stirs up visions of "Little Shop of Horrors" but not even remotely humorous! Perfect image to evoke nightmares!

[Call me Joe]

Super duper !!

[Paula McLaughlin]
