Feeding Neps (and Sarrs) are actually a pretty boring activity once it becomes routine, especially with dry crickets. Feeding VFT's and Sundews are way more fun.
In order to enjoy a show, I don't just put insects directly into the pitchers. Instead, I place them in the vicinity such as on the leaf (or for flying insects, just trap them in my terrarium), and watch them get lured to the pitchers - perhaps even get a little drunk from the nectar. That's the fun part.
With flying insects and several neps and sundews in my terrarium, it's always interesting to watch in which plant the insect ends up. Usually, the D. Adelae wins hands down in terms of attraction.[/QUOTE]<span id='postcolor'>

That's why i use live food, so it isn't boring. And why would u feed your Sarracenia? They are gluttons on thier own!
