Like I said in another post, my S. purpurea ssp. purpurea readily catches wasps several times a week, as well as other small insects such as moths and flies. Who ever said purps are no good at catching insects are wrong, cept maybe that's cause there is a wasp nest very close to my plant.
i found flies in my prup today! i think all sarrs are good at catching insects in their own way...Psitticina still befuddles me though. i mean thers no obvious lip so whre does the nectar come from?

And as for the argument about whether or not S. psittacina produces Nectar or not, I think that it has it on the tip of it's ala and on the big bulbus head, getting stronger torwards the mouth of the trap.
the first one is one i grew from those little plastic cubes from lowes and the second red one is a brunswick beauty that was given to me. It usually has alot darker color to it but mine seems to have lots of new shoots and its a nice clump in only having it 2 seasons.
