Fuck it would suck to be a fly and get stuck in one of those. Dosent it shoot out its "stomach acid" between those ten days and thats how it eats it? If so, damn that must hurt
My sister had one but I killed it by putting my finger in its mouth. It takes pretty much all of their energy to close their mouths and since it got no nutrition from my finger, it died
I've had a couple of these too but with moving around so much found they didn't care for it...never got to see that up close though the little buggers seemed to do their hunting and capturing while I wasn't there!
