What critter do you feed the most to your neps?

Schloaty,

When you are spitting wood do you spit the grubs directly into the pitchers and do you chew them first?

i use store bought crickets usually. you can get them in different sizes for different sized plants, they're relatively cheap, and easy to aquire (just go to a pet store). i just bring them home, throw them in the freezer for a while, them feed them to my plants.
i also use dried blood worms. just dump a small amount into the pitcher and your set. these are also available at any petstore.
in the past i have tried blood meal, hard boiled egg whites, 2% milk, hard boiled egg whites, protien drinks, even ground up herbal suppliments (bee caps).
the crickets and blood worms are by far the easiest and best in my opinion.

tech...

When I had mine outside and dissected an old pitcher, I found predominantly yellow jackets in there.

i would be careful...the chlorine might hurt the plants...

Depends on whether I had anything to eat before I started!
