      I was going to say something snarky and stupid, like “all traps are vagina-shaped,” but then I thought about venus fly traps and bear traps and now I’m worried I’ve stumbled onto something I’m not supposed to know.

      I believe that’s a close-up of the inside of a pitcher plant. Which is a plant that sits there all day wafting out a sweet smell of food, waiting around for insects to fall into its fluid filled “belly” where they thrash around fruitlessly until they finally die and are dissolved, thereby nourishing the plant they were originally there to prey upon.

      Fitting analogy, no?
