OK, so here's the deal. Sometime within the past week a large deer died next to my driveway, and I'm just letting nature clean it up (don't worry, it's a long driveway so it's not right near the house). As you can guess, in addition to the dozens of vultures hanging out, there is also thousands upon thousands of flies and yellow jackets around the carcass. I was thinking about moving my CPs over there so they can feast on this bounty, but I'm worried they would catch too many insects... Is that possible? If they get more than they can digest, will the whole pitcher die? I have mainly sarrs but also a few VFTs and sundews. I'm thinking I might move my Drosophyllum out near the carcass since they have a high leaf turnover rate anyway.

OK, well I just put the dewy pine out there and some yellow jackets immediately came up and landed on the leaves, but they are too large and strong so they freed themselves immediately. There are plenty of smaller insects around though.
