I have a couple of Sarracenia flava plants with pitchers that reach about 45cm. tall, that catch wasps in the conservatory - although the wasps sometimes manage to bite through the wall of the pitcher and escape. Do your pitchers amplify the buzzing of trapped insects, like the old gramophone trumpets? I can be quite gruesome. I also have some Pinguicula plants with sticky leaves like flypaper, which are excellent for catching those little black mushroom flies that hatch out of potting compost, and a very old, large Drosera binata plant which has a mass of sparkling sticky tentacles that are very efficient at catching larger flies.Philhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609107148344256875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542510469509893350.post-54361922153842660172009-04-09T12:33:00.000+01:002009-04-09T12:33:00.000+01:00I have a different type of pitcher plant (Sarracen...I have a different type of pitcher plant (Sarracenia formosa) which I assume will be similar 'inside'.
