Carnivorous and strange plants, sentence 6

After it closes, the flytrap seals tight and makes digestive juices; digesting one fly takes about a week to ten days, and then the trap opens again; if it closes on something it cannot digest, like a finger, it opens again in a day or so.

Who acts: hair, flytrap, trap · What happens: close, seal, make, digest, take, open · To what, where: digestive juices, one fly, something
