Whoa! That's a crazy looking one. Since it was only found 5 days ago, I suppose that no one knows how stable it is. As it doesn't appear on all the traps, it looks like it could be a random mutation that simply occurs from time to time like double-headed traps. Or is it like "Trichterfalle" and it only exhibits the trait at certain times of the year?

In any case, it's an interesting mutation that I've never seen before. I like it!

I find the 'mirror' clone very interesting - kind of like a confused flytrap. Are the secondary traps functional?

that just seems like a leave mutation. if you look at the some of the other traps, they look normal

Mirror grow like fused tooth, spring traps are normal and summer traps have the mutation, even the flowers are strange!
