This is the sandbox I am using to link a Wikipedia article, "Carnivorous plant," to the current article I am working on, "Plant arithmetic."

I have included a copy of the text I am adding to, bolded my change, and linked the change to "Plant arithmetic."

The images shown were copied along with the text I selected from "Carnivorous plant."

I have provided an "Edit Summary" below the copied items.

I will probably post these changes when I publish my draft for "Plant arithmetic."

Here is the sandbox link to my draft for "Plant arithmetic": User:Heidi90189676415M/Plant arithmetic

Snap traps

The snap traps of Dionaea muscipula close rapidly when the sensitive hairs on the leaf lobes are triggered.

Stages and timing of the Venus flytrap carnivory process, Knowable Magazine

The only two active snap traps—the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), which uses plant arithmetic, and the waterwheel plant (Aldrovanda vesiculosa)—had a common ancestor with the snap trap adaptation, which had evolved from an ancestral lineage that utilized flypaper traps. Their trapping mechanism has also been described as a "mouse trap", "bear trap" or "man trap", based on their shape and rapid movement. However, the term snap trap is preferred as other designations are misleading, particularly with respect to the intended prey. Aldrovanda is aquatic and specialized in catching small invertebrates; Dionaea is terrestrial and catches a variety of arthropods, including spiders.
