worm

Hi everybody October 11th was the Fall Event at Meadowview Biological Research Station located near Thornburg, Virginia.  I was accompanied to the event with PFT forum member Cynic81.    I thought I would share some photos from the day. Meadowview, run by director Phil Sheridan, is a...

I wasn't sure yesterday or the day before, but it looks like one of the three VFT seeds I planted is sprouting! That or a green worm is coming out of the ground and sucking out the innards of the seed. Once it gets all the way out of it's shell, I'm going to move it to its own pot. Right now I...

I'm sry I have to bring this up but I'm bored and have an hour to kill...... -you notice intrest rates have droped and atempt to refinance your pair of ball pythons. -you have to explian to your new girlfriend that having "herps" doesnt mean you have an s.t.d.. -you hand out cigars to the guys...

The computer system at work apparently has the Blaster worm. My computer shuts down every 5 minutes. Aarrrrgggghh! So no work getting done today. Anyone else infected? You'd think a large corporation like this one would have it fixed by now. Stupid ol' PCs.... Suzanne

I remember someone saying his pitcher plants looked like they exploded.... Well last night I saw Preety big WASp ( Brown one ) inside one and it was like half way in the juice and looked to be struggling... Wellllllllllllllllllll I looked this morning and the pitcher looked EXPLODED !!!!!!!!! I...

OK, so here is how it happened. I came home from school today, and looked at my plants as i always do. I saw a worm, looked like a small earth worm, but it was about a centimeter long and really skinny. I tried to grab him with some tweezers, but he dodged to the left. I tried agian, got him...

In an attempt to feed my BW I used some waxworms that I usually feed my lizards. First i tried just putting them on the leaves but because the plants not having enough "glue" the worms would just crawl off. So next i sliced the worms open and spread their guts on the leaves. YUM! In a few days...

My unknown hybrid has a worm problem I think. I picked up the pot this morning and 2 little red worms crawled out of the drain holes in the bottom of the pot. Both of them were about an inch in length. And yesterday a new leaf completely unfurled and now it is wilted, and all of the leafs are...

I bought 3 VFT Green Dragon "bulbs" and they all seemed to be growing fine until recently. I noticed all growth had stopped so I picked up the pots and to my horror all the leaves fell off. They look like something ate at them. There are little white worm looking things all over in the soil...

Ok, I just noticed that in three of my pitchers, there are white worm like creatures swimming around inside the insect soup. They normally float on the surface of the goo, but when I disturb them, they would dive down into the liquid, later surfacing again. They look like maggots, only they are...

I'm having a problem with two of my sundews, a spathulata and a capensis. I've had them since April. The spath is dewless, and the leaves look bad, but it is sending up a nice green flower stalk.  The capensis is dewy enough, but it is growing very slowly and looks like it ought to be...

I'm going to feed all my Neps today some defrosted bloodworms (midge larvae) and I was wondering If I should feed my 3 newest arrivals: Fusca, Lowii and Hamata? I'm not sure how long I've had them (Tony has it been a month yet?) but I was wondering if I should drop a tiny worm or two into these...

my vft was getting brown arround the soil... no matter what more/less water it just kept going. it is in the same tray of water and others look good. today i took the dead leafs out and examend the soil... i found quite a bit of these translucent worm things... please advise what i could do...

Ok, I am new here, in fact I have been a CP grower for a week! Last week I bought some seeds for a sundew but today I bought my first grown VFT. It was in a garden center and lots of people had closed the traps by putting a bunch of dirt and leaves in them. Now I have done my research and i know...

my first post about my first ping (hopefully). i just got my order today from pft.com, and the other plants looked great, but my ping did not. i'd include a picture of it's sad state, but my digital camera is even more sad. anyway, the leaves are shriveled, and the plant was not "in the ground"...

I was just wondering what is the best insect to feed to your CPs? I recently fed my vft a few meal worms, but every trap that I fed got black spots and died, eventhough there was no part of the worm hanging out of the plant.

hey, i just received my purpurea about 2 weeks ago, it is doin nicely, and i see the new ones turnin light red but what i saw is that the top brim of the mouth turnin brownish, does this mean that the pitcher is dyeing? and also i put soem distilled water in the pitchers, like half way and i...

I have a bunch of very tiny white bugs "on" the water in my humidity tray for one of my orchids. They are about 1 mm long. When I first saw them I thought they were dust. I don't believe they are fungus gnat larva as they are on the water and they are not worm like. They have heads, bodies...

Hi all, Looks like my Regal Red vft didn't survive.  So i was digging through the substrate and I saw a bunch of little white worms.  They are about 5mm in length, white slimy body.  They are somewhat see through, so I can see the squiggly black intestines inside.  For the most part, its white...
