I've had my largest flytrap outside a couple of times this year getting it acclimated to the sun. I even got to watch it catch a fly which was cool. I've never found flies in my traps before, it's always been harvestmen. I just counted this morning, and there are 17 traps closed on very visible flies. I can even see the wings through the traps. Anyone else finding lots of flying insects in theirs?

Are your flycatchers suspended above the pots on longish petioles? -dvg

The newest ones coming up are probably over 4" long now. The traps are getting pretty large as well. Sent from my iPod touch using Tapatalk
