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.
@weirdfizz do they work on fruit flies? They plague my plants and compost bucket. 😵💫

@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.

@weirdfizz thanks, you’ve got me inspired…
I’ve got an article I tore out about these guys when I still had a Sunset subscription - it was a super-creepy Halloween spread. I’m curious where they’re located, I think they’re nearby…
