@nopuppet_007 Fruit flies are small, so that should work well. Their "dew" doesn't really work on anything strong enough to eacape quickly. Mine can't catch a wasp when one gets in the house.

Here's some short info on their needs. The site is the company I got mine from. They have well-bred plants and good info.

My girl caught a bug! 🌱💚 She's a Cape Sundew. If you're considering raising plants instead of children, keep in mind that Cape Sundew is easy to care for and you can be proud when they eat bugs.

@misterfive My sister-in-law is getting one for Christmas. I tell her the truth about what she's getting every year...with carefully chosen details left out. This year, I said, "I can knit you a sweater for Christmas!"

@artildawn I'm not immediately yelling, "Feet don't move like that!" So those are good feet.

I have successfully knitted my first sweater! Same techniques as one a human would wear, just a lot fewer stitches. #CoSoKnitting

@LadyZurk My parents spent a lot of time saying, "A gift certificate is a valid gift. Let her buy the books she wants."

@LadyZurk I was given "The Ship Who Searched" because everybody knew I was way above my age group, but nobody knew what to give me. A relative was like, "It's got a kid in it. I'll give her this one."

#CoSoBooks The book I was trying to remember was "The Coelura"! I think I had just read "The Ship Who Searched ", so I picked up "The Coelura" when I saw it in the store.

@LadyZurk I spent hours trying to figure it out! Yes..."The Coelura"!

@Flibitz Yes! That was it!

#CoSoBooks , please help me remember the title of a book I read in the early 90s. SciFi/Fantasy novel. Pretty short for novels then. Paperback copy had a blue cover, and the title was in fancy iridescent letters. I think the story was about some kind of sentient iridescent cloth fabric.

Baby rattlesnake got in the house! Cat scratched at our bedroom door to get our attention, then went down the hall and kept it cornered until we showed up. Cat was not bit. Baby rattler was carefully removed and let go in a nearby field.

@TrueBloodNet I've checked with the cats of our house. They appreciate that you acknowledge who truly holds the power and have hinted that you may be rewarded at an appropriate time.

@EnochianEntropy I hope somebody out there is going to be Moopsy for Halloween.

@EnochianEntropy Yes! When we watched that episode, I said, "That is a Pokémon!"

There aren't enough spirals in my art. Gosh... I guess I'll just have to spend more time makin' art! 😊

@AskTheDevil I'm so glad it's not just me! My brain turned "single" into "sinful" yesterday and I was trying to figure out how my sister-in-law could have gotten a sinful bag of chips.

The things I mishear give us great entertainment, though! The combination of obstructed hearing and delayed auditory processing often does that. It happens more often when hearing disappears on one side.

I still don't know what was said in a commercial last night, but it probably wasn't what I heard. "Chicken balls falling apart."

I periodically lose my hearing in my right ear because of other things going on in the right side of my body. It lasts for a few days, then I wake up one day and can hear again. It lasted for two weeks last time, though. Hearing disappeared on that side two days ago and I already want it back this time.
