There is a slightly smaller version at upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fe/Mimosa_Pudica.gif/220px-Mimosa_Pudica.gif

which is probably too big to post here but can presumably be resized.

I thought that too (because it sure can pass for time-lapse) before I looked it up:

The second one ( the mimosa) grows wild around where I live. We call it shy grass.
