So, I can home last night from a weekend in the country, and my VFT has re-opened after eatting a fly for 4 days. The VFT's goo is dripping from its mouth, and the dead fly is still inside the trap. What do I do? Leave it alone?

You can leave it alone or you can blow out the bug.
Just don't stick your finger in it ( or anything else ). You might trigger the trap and it will close again.
Or if removing dead bugs isn't your thing, you can just leave it as a reminder to those that wish to come into your home
I have 12 vft`s on my kitchen windowsill that are very well fed. My wife kind of gets grossed out when one of my traps opens to reveal whats left. I very carefully take a toothpick to remove the insect.
Once again, you guys ROCK! I have to say, my VFT is the coolest pet I've ever had! Thank you for the suggestions, honestly I do not enjoy looking at this dead bug.
The traps are SO ooey-gooey it is unbelievable. This is the first VFT I've ever had, so I assume this is a good thing?
You all might be interested in seeing my set-up, how do I post a picture for all to see?
John, you are from Milford? I grew up in CT. What a beautiful, lush place!
