Hi everyone -

Check this out. I fed my "Red Rosette Giant x Burgundy Trap Giant Upright" a blood filled tick that fell off my Father In Law's German Shepard.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on the photo of the tick/dime.

I got the plant last summer from Phil Faulisi who posted about some plants he was selling on the ICPS listserve. I think it was his creation.

Wild Bill, that is a fantastic website...immediately put it on my "favorites" list. The photos are great...especially the trap eating a frog.
I guess the myriad of baby chamelons around here will be next on the menu for my very large Dente.

That is a fat tick. Glad the venus flytrap caught it.

Thanks for sharing.

Ive heard some ticks carry lime disease wouldnt that hurt the plant

 

[VeiledFighter]

No it would not effect any plant. The tick can only infect lyme disease if they bite certain mammals. Plus, a tick is not born with lyme disease it has bite to an infected host that has lyme disease. Upper Michigan is crawling with ticks...That is why I live in Lower Michigan k/d.

Lauderdale: thanks. I can't take credit for the photos, but i do handle the website.

Please don't feed baby chameleons to a VFT. Feed it something more mundane and common.
