 :D Could come in handy..

But yes, they are difficult to keep, I have tried before.  I'm going to save rain water for it, but I don't know about flies during the winter...will have to see..

There are always the online pet stores, where you can order flies to feed them. ;D

I remember the the Venus flytrap, they never stayed a live.  At one time I put a few together thinking that might help and naturally they all died.  I am very sure they grow wild in the Southern states of America.  Good luck.

Went to Homebase the other day (hardware and garden store) and picked up another carnivorous plant.

Other than that I have been working on my course.

Piccy below :)

 ;D Yeah they are plants with some bite and I am never sure if they like being tickled !

I'm always amazed that nature came up with things like this, these kinds of plants fascinate me.

I remember Little Shop of Horrors, that was great, a long time ago now.  I read today that Rick Moranis might be in the third Ghostbusters film.  That would be great, he is so funny, he just disappeared at the end of the nineties though which was a shame.

lol  :D  Yes, I thought that too, it really looks like the Triffids in that old 80's BBC screen play they did.  Better be careful....

They kind of resemble tiny cobras. Let's hope their bite is tiny as well. ;)
In the world of AI, it's the thought that counts!

Yes they do, I hadn't thought of that.  Those ones, as you can see, have tubular stems which fill with liquid.  The flies get digested in there  :o
