Should you remove prey after traps have reopened ?

I tried taking out a dead fly once and it triggered the trap to close again. So I just leave the dead bugs even if they are gross looking...lol

I was gonna post a topic about this,but I've heard if you put it outside natural sources will take it out,like wind rain etc.

I always remove the digested bloodworm as it really is very irritating.
The trap does not get instantly active as soon as it opens,till it is folded outwards,you can remove dead digested stuff (as per my experience).

It's easy to grow Carnivorous plants if you don't stress them by unwanted excessive care

Just take a spray bottle with pure water and spray the bug out!

If you grow your plants outside, just leave it be. You may trigger the mechanism while trying to clean the trap. Some will be washed out by rain, some won't. That's nature.
If you grow your plants inside, you may consider to take the bugs out to prevent mold starting to grow inside.
