Hey,
I have a sort of strange question. How do you all feel about flytraps catching too many insects? I am growing them outside in pots for the first time and almost all the traps are shut from catching a pillbug there, an ant here, etc. Everyone else's pictures have flytraps with numerous lovely opened traps, while I just have one or two that are open.
I just don't want the plant using too much energy catching and digesting, because some of the prey items stick out (ie, the pillbugs) and run the risk of rotting the trap.
Thanks.
Johnny
