ShrodingersCat SG I planted carnivorous plants before.. its quite fun! Had pitchers, venus flytraps, and sundews. My pitchers and sundews are still growing but after about 1-2 years.. my venus flytraps.. grew SMALLER and smaller and smaller.. (they propagated very well at first.. I had many rosettes of them).. then eventually disappeared.. I think it is due to the too hot weather... You can get them at far east flora...
ShrodingersCat SG unfortunately... carnivorous plants.. most of them ATTRACT the insects that they eat.. (except for the Venus flytraps I guess)... so..uhh.. they dont just REMOVE existing insects.. they will keep on attracting them.
ShrodingersCat SG Errr may be other better ways of attracting insects ba... by the time u see them.. they are a wet sticky mush on the end of the sundew... or a wet sticky mush... at the bottom of the pitcher.. or a dry shell between the leaves of the venus flytrap.... How about Lantanas.. easy to grow and ... supposed to attract a lot of butterflies... and I've got heaps of dragonflies in my garden (at my mom's hse)
av98m SG I wish I had my own garden. I'd lovingly tend to it and make sure it attracts all the kinds of insects I like.
ShrodingersCat SG can start with a few pots la... My hubby just go out and changkuls on .. err... overgrown land in the middle of nowhere to plant his trees and all. Can't tell u where sekali mata catch him. but i'm sure u have seen lots of plantations in the middle of nowhere planted by people.
av98m SG I want to sit down in front of the plants and try to capture the insects' last moments mah. Will make for exciting photos
ShrodingersCat SG err... and before this all I tot u are into insect porn. Now i know u are into insect necrophilia. -shake head-
elindra SG I want my very own triops Seems that it is easy to get their eggs too Just need a fresh batch. Will see if my cousin can buy them from the local aquarium in USA for me
av98m SG Hey its fun watching them you know There was this time, I was tracking a spider when suddenly an assassin fly appeared hovering above the spider, then landed on the spider, grabbed it, and flew off with its hapless victim!!! I was gaping at the spectacle and forgot to take pictures
the Bear SG the helicopters they have are counter-rotators... and don't look as nice... but i'll go have a look at the toy shops before ordering that one.. thanks! i've been neglecting this topic for some time... just found the pot of horrors thought i'd post it here but pinkybear has found it first
Gedanken SG Not quite your average laser pointer. For US$3500, this thing's powerful enough to cut plastic and light cigars!
