Two days ago I noticed several ants hanging around my tray and I got kinda excited because there's been a shortage on flying insects. All my pitchers had nectars dribbling down them and by the time the ants were all captured, all the nectar were gone ^_^.
They managed to reach the pots standing in water through a leaf of a Sarracenia that was sticking out
The next day when I woke up, most of all my plants were 1/2 or almost filled up with ants. Some nepenthes at the bottom of the grow rack also had tons of ants in them. Needless to say, my plants were all well fed. I also stuck a chop stick down the pitchers and sprinkled some of the ants on my droseras. As you can see, the pitchers started turning color right away
And then a video of the aftermath the day after the ants lost
