Venus fly traps, could they be considered "intelligent"...?
First of all, the carnivorous plant species amazes me. But do you think the venus in particular could be considered intelligent because of it's ability to know when to close around something and when not to? The hairs have to be touched at least twice by something to rule out it being something non living in it's "jaws." I think that this could make it more like a sea anemone, which might also be able to be considered more animal than plant, to me anyway. So, do you think this plant instinct could be intelligence, or just what plants "do"?

Well i consider everything that has to do something to live intelligent. We eat, and drink and do everything needed. Plants have certain ways they exist and processes that they do to stay alive. Yet they are a plant, i do see intelligence in them. Roses have thorns to protect them. One way of surviving.

i've got not got self belief it somewhat is to any extent further an illustration of intelligence then plant life emitting scent to entice bugs for pollination. this is not any longer the only plant able to circulation, yet another occasion is the mimosa plant which has consistently involved me.

no intelligence, this is just the nature and evolution of this plant... It will clamp down on almost anything with protein.
