  • that thing is huge mine is about 5 cm tall ._.

  • @tellemscrappy this is a small one. these plants can grow to be over 100 years old and will form huge clusters of traps - so huge, they form their own micro-ecosystem

  • ae the nats attracted to the water?

  • @mayorwest12 no, the gnat doesn't even notice the water. the red veins of the plant go under the clear water making it look invisible. the gnat is licking the sides of the plant between the dangerous downward-pointing hairs where sugary nectar is being produced. that's its mistake. it wasn't expecting water to be below it
