At first i thought it was just me bumping the trap when i cut the flower stalk but today at work i cut the 3 inch flower stalk that was on my bigmouth and i never touched the traps and about a minute after i cut it the 3 biggest traps closed. This happened to my fine tooth x red and maroon monster.

This plant is inside at my work. No bugs anywhere. Its super weird. we literately watched them slowly close over the course of a minute
