Question: can you touch a venus fly trap?
Answer: Poking your finger at a Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is uneventful. If you put your finger in one of the plant's traps and wiggle it around, you can get the trap to close. No harm will come to you, but you may harm the plant. ... When told not to touch a Venus flytrap, people often assume it's for their own safety.
