Hey does anybody know how I got aphids? My venus fly trap was in a terrerium, with no other plants and the closest plant was in another room. ??

It's been one of dem days
NoFear,
Aphids could have come in from outside by any number of ways. Through a screen or clinging to clothing. I found one on my T-shirt the other day. My sundew thought it was delicious!
. It only takes one aphid to start a whole mess of aphids. They don't have to mate to have young (parthenogenesis). So one aphid can create a whole bunch.

You can take a flea collar, wrap it in a plastic baggie to make sure that it doesn't touch the soil..
Like a sandwhich bagige with the top open.
Then place it in the tank by the plant.
Or if the plant is in a pot, you can take it out and put it in water over night.
malathion (sp) diluted down some will work too...but I would try the 1st 2 b4 the last.
