The traps remove all the water inside, by flushing it out the trap's walls, creating a vacuum inside. When bugs move past the front of the trap, they strike trigger hairs, which tell the plant to open a trapdoor, which, due to the pressure inside the trap, sucks up the bug 2/2
Utricularia Bisquamata, a southern African bladderwort I have in my collection.
Utricularia have tiny traps under ground that suck up microorganisms that move past it. Their traps are the fastest natural mechanism on the planet, with a speed of around half a millisecond 1/2
