Sarracenia alata takes out two ants

[DjKehmist]

Ant 1: I think I see something down here.

Shiiiiiit. *falls*

Ant 2: I'll save you! :D

@BrianSwimmy Liquid secretion rises with the capture of prey.

If these kill with acid does that mean i can buy one and feed it a teabag to make an acid tea? Im sure the plant would thank anyone who gave them a teabag because tea is lovely.

does anyone here know if its okay to feed pitcher plants rolly polies

[KatrinaGustavRuled]

@BrianSwimmy full sun,6hrs is ideal for pitcher plants. distilled or rain water only

[ellookitty]

when i see ants on the side of my plant i like to help them along and give them a push inside. >:D

[Armoredlamb]

i need one of these to kill the ants in my apt...

[xChemicalFaith]

Oh no! The poor ants. lol...

my sarracenia flava was 3 weeks outside and was doing it great. But now she is blood red. I dont know what happend. Is it too cold outside?

[bAxMe3l]

I think it's ok, it's just the sun light!

[lukenukem1976]

that's a good thing and reveals that you have a good form of it. I have a red tube variant that only occasionally colours up..

[Meateater762]

its odd. why cant ants communicate well enough that when one falls and is dying it cant warn its friend(s)  and yet they have like the most complex homes with thousands of eachother and they communicate so well that they are seemingly one?

[Piranhaboy01]

Clever observation. You're right, they don't seem to realize when one of their own clones are in trouble but attack an enemy like one . Go figure...

[Meateater762]

Btw nice flowers. Should be a good harvest.

[iankaufman80]

@Piranhaboy01 it doesnt get that its dying

[samljer]

@Meateater762 Because the odor trail "the way they talk" wouldnt work in mid air on the way down.

They do actually have a scent for "follow" and "danger" but the fall is too fast.

It must take so much time to take care od all your plants. well worth it though
