Now he’s the one who’s trapped.

A North Carolina man was busted on felony charges over the weekend after authorities found him with 216 Venus flytraps, according to local reports.

Archie Lee Williams Jr., 41, of the Brunswick County town of Bolivia is accused of poaching the rare carnivorous plant, which is protected because it is considered a “vulnerable” species, according to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Williams was charged with 73 felony counts of taking a Venus flytrap, which is native to southeastern North Carolina, WECT News reported.

The man’s arrest came after a month-long investigation into the ongoing illegal poaching of the plants from the Pinch Gut game lands in the area, the news outlet reported.

Authorities set up a motion-activated camera to try to catch the crooks red-handed.

Williams ultimately was caught in the act and he admitted digging up the plants and selling them to an unidentified man in Brunswick County, according to WECT.

The buyer then resold the plants.

Williams had the load of Venus flytraps in a bag, along with digging tools, when he was nabbed.

Master Officer J.D. White of the North Carolina Wildlife Commission said Williams copped to poaching the Venus flytraps once a week, WCET reported.

White estimated that about 200 of the plants are illegally taken from the game lands every week.

“This is an ongoing thing,” White said. “It’s almost impossible to catch them without the help of the public … and just dumb luck.”
