Lol! Thats lovely! How long does it take to digest that piece of ****?

Found it my backyard - not sure if it will digest it or not, but I imagine time will tell.

It's still half in the trap as you can see in the picture. I poked it because I thought it had died, and it didn't move. I turned back round, and I caught it struggling. :eek:

Wow, I only thought they produced one trap, how often do you feed them and how many traps should you feed?

Theres no point feeding them ants, woodlice and suchlike, because of their tough exoskeleton. Stick to flies.

I would, but I hardly get any in the house. When we do get them, I'm far too out of practice to catch them.

The thing is, if the plant is getting enough sunlight, it doesnt actually need feeding.

Maybe leave it outside so it can catch its own for periods of time.
