Venus feeding question

| My fly trap caught a bug all on its own yesterday (I'm a newbie to carns, so bear with me.)
The trap didn't totally engulf the prey- it's head and a leg is out. My understanding is that these plsnts seal up and release digestive juices- does it need to completely seal up in order to do so?
I guess I'm asking if it will actually eat the bug if it's sticking out from the trap a bit.

Yes, of course it will!
Do you think that preys are caught perfectly all the times in nature? Don't worry, it will do just fine; anyway, you can't do anything now, can you? Ahuehuete |
