I have a tiny fly trap that we got at Rona and they look like
miniatures.....
It caught something the other day.I think it was a tiny spider (could only
see thin legs) but nothing big....I am thinking of feeding it some dead bugs
too as they said that if it is not in a location with plenty insects you
might need to give it some plant food.......
I just don't want to end up killing it so I am taking the "natural way" and
offering some disabled insects (not dead) so it can do some of the job
itself...

I must be too well trained by my cats....

I have this little fly problem.

I figured one natural way to "deal with it" would be to have a venus fly
trap around. A nice symbiotic relationship between me, the insects in my
house and the plant.

So I'm watching these flies buzz around the thing...Getting closer...
land
on the window... fly away to another part of the house.

So I killed the thing myself and fed it to the plant. You think the
cats
were talking to it and said "Don't worry, if you just sit there and look
pathetic he'll give you food." ?

Has anybody seen a venus fly trap EVER ACTUALLY CATCH A FLY OR BUG?

I have. Years ago. The inside of the plant gets pinkish and puts out an
odor
that attracts them. If it's not with color, it will still chomp but maybe
not attract too well.
