Difference between Thigmonasty and siesmonasty

Dear student


 Thigmonasty -  In the leaves of certain insectivorous plants, e.g. Drosera the tentacles show variation in movements on coming in contact with an insect.  when the insect touches the stimulus, all the tentacles of the entire leaf bend over the insect.
Seismonasty - This movement is induced by touch or shock. Leaves of Mimosa pudica show this movement.
