Whats it to ya?
SO. I am really curious about how everyone feeds their plants-
Do you still like to watch the kill or are u used to it, and just leave?
Where do you get your bugs?
What is your favorite type of bug to feed? (Mine would be flies, because they are so darn annoying)
How do you feed it?
What is your favorite method of feeding. (for example, do you feed the plant direcly or let the insect wander untill it inevetebly succumbs-
Also i have a theory about a method of feeding, and if any of you would be so kind, could you try this for me (it requiers pitcher plants and i have none) -you dont have to, of course, but it might be neat. Ok i was thinking about how moths are attracted to lights, like portchlights and sutch and moths always ram into [the lights]. I was wondering if you brought a sarr [a species] outside for the night (if the climate was right)
and shone a bright flashlite near the base of one of the pitchars (probably a near empty pitcher -would be better)

Now if u placed the light so that it shone trough the outside pitcher walls and iluminated the digestive juices and left it there... would the whole pitcher be lit up? and if sooooo.... would any moths be attracted to it, and try to fly into the pitcher. You would need to turn off any outside lights, like porch lights. What do u think? do u think it would work? in the morning would it be filled with moths?
anyway, back to the topic
What kind of plants do you enjoy feeding the most?
