The video shows a close-up of a Venus flytrap plant, which is a type of carnivorous plant. The plant has a yellow center with red spikes that close in on an insect, presumably to capture it. The insect appears to be a fly, which is a common prey for the Venus flytrap. The plant's spikes move quickly, closing in on the insect and trapping it inside. The video provides a detailed look at the plant's unique mechanism for capturing prey.
