I personally love the bugs. I have a pot with them, also with catesbaei, minor, VFT, and drosera binata ditchoma giant. I also will put the June bug in when it starts producing bigger pitchers (just 1-cm long right now, coming out of dormancy) and when i get the love bug i will take pictures
i think they were selected for unique, colorful appearances, smaller size for shipping reasons, i also think cold-hardiness was selected for as well. being in WI, I can attest that these plants don't seem to be bothered at all by WI winters. another trait i think they were going after was fast growth rates. i remember reading something somewhere about them, but my memory is a bit foggy on it.
I could be wrong, but I think the guys that bred these had visions of creating small, colorful little pitcher plants that could be mass-produced and shipped to garden centers across the country, but for whatever reasons, it just didn't pan out.
