Sarracenia Mid-Season Kill count

I Am the Terror Of the Night!
I have been neglecting my Sarracenia Clusters of photos, time for a night excursion.
(Sorry pictures suck. IT was really dark with a bad flashlight.)

I thought the greenhouse would be the best location for my bog plants,
But its not so. A good amount of light is lacking, so next season im
going to have to trim a few trees. I was beginning to suspect
that the Sarrs may not be catching food, So I went to take a look.

Dominant Sarracenia Flava Cluster

Sarracenia Catesbaei has a very lopsided pitcher.

However, It is almost halfway full, reaching the bottom portion of the pot.

Quickly looking up, I see a moth whip past my face, only to land directly
upon the lips of the large Flava cluster. The moth IMMEDIATELY fell down the trap :ohno:
(Note the dark outline.)

Looking deeper into the cluster, I find that other pitchers
are also filled with previous prey that is normally not viewed without a flashlight
or in daylight.

That poor moth is doomed now. Working its way down farther into the
most brutal traps in my bog. I feel really bad for this one.
