Congrats there Dennis.

You probably do have a VFT seed germinating there...

...and it just hasn't shed it's seed case yet...

...leave it and it will sort things out by itself...

...sometimes "helping" fingers do more harm than good...despite the intention.

They work wonders. It's only been a week since I picked up my first VFT, fed it that day, and 2 new traps opened up since.
