I think the bladderwort idea sounds good. Changing the water would be too expensive since I have to buy distilled water. Where can I get the species you suggested?

The mosquitoes are taking advantange of the standing water in my sarr pot. There has been a mosquito population exposion around my house. Is there anything I can put in the water to kill the larva that won't harm my plants? Thanks...

The VFTs I have outside are ones that I bought last year from this site. They have not produced a mature trap this year. They were frozen in my fridge so they kinda got a late start this spring. The ones I have inside are also from Exotic gardens. I've had them for about a month. They arrived...

Ok, maybe I'm worrying about nothing but I really think something is wrong. I first noticed a notch in a leaf on one of my outside VFTs and now one of VFTs that I keep inside has a notch on one of its leaves. It almost looks as if something has eaten the leafy part of the petiole. The traps look...

Thanks for all the info. It's not looking good. I think I'll order some more VFTs today. Thanks

I pulled my VFTs out of the fridge to plant them last week, only to find them frozen solid. I went ahead and planted them, hoping for a miracle. Has anyone ever had a VFT recover from a similar situation?? Buckmaster

Oh yeah, I forgot to thank you, Parasuco, for defending me. Thanks a million!!! Buckmaster

Wow, I go away for a few days and look what happens!!! I didn't mean to ruffle everyone's feathers. I simply posted this because I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to get some feedback on what people thought may happen. I am happy to say that all three traps that were fed toads have opened...

My VFTs caught a couple of crane flies on their own here while back. Their legs were also sticking out and waiving around. I couldn't believe it took them so long to die. You'd think they would pass quickly but one lived for like 2 days!!! Very interesting stuff. Buckmaster

Man, I had to go way back to page 3 to find this post. Anyway, the first trap I fed a toad opened a few days ago and the second is opening today!!! The third should probably open in a day or so. I guess toads make good food after all. I haven't managed to find anyone of my friends with a...

It is some kind of bee, wasp or hornet. I've seen them in pools before and been stung by them. Not a very painful sting, kind of like a mosquito bite. Buckmaster

Very nice!!! Buckmaster

Happy B-Day!!!! Hopefully Ram doesn't get a bigger mallet for his B-Day!!!1 Buckmaster
