Thank you. Fun to watch the pitchers fill up with these.

Thank you. I especially like watching the yellow jackets fall down the shute, aggressive little buggers.

Love it. This is probably one of the most rewarding perks of growing Cps

not to be a thread jacker, but i also find it rewarding when i go out in the spring or fall and find darn caterpillars munching my plants and i can put them a plant, its sweet revenge.

Tell me about it. I've got a purp pitcher with about 8 caterpillars due to me dropping their butts in there

I give them to the flytraps.

I do the same thing, feed 'em to the sarrs and VFT.

'Couldn't happen to a nicer bug, ha! Is that a typical minor or the "Okee Giant" form?

My sentiments exactly. That be the "Okee Giant" form.

I'm surprised you guys feed your plants caterpillars- thats the sworn enemy of any carnivore. They eat their way out of all my carnivores, even the fly trap I have that's notorious for eating wasps.

To the OP: awesome photography.

That's why I only put them in my purp since they drown in the water. I'm a little nervous about putting them in my other plants

You are right, large caterpillars sometimes will eat their way out of my pitchers, but I have not seen a problem with small ones. I have more wasps and bees chew holes through pitchers trying to escape than caterpillars though, they chew a hole just big enough for their heads to get through but not their bodies, haha.

Thank you for the comment about the photos!
