I’m planting it everywhere, and I’ll water the heck out of it.

Where are the bug’s parents? And what the hell are they teaching these bugs at school? PATHETIC. Until they reform their educational system and tell the stamen to stay with the kids, these bugs will continue to be consumed by these plants.

"We believe that T. occidentalis is able to do this because its glandular hairs are not very sticky, and can only entrap midges and other small insects, so that the much larger and stronger bees and butterflies that act as its pollinators are not captured," says Givnish.

Interesting.

The sticky substance would have to have enzymes to digest the insects.

So, what damage would be done to the pollinators that come in contact with it and escape.

Or the enzymes may not be present in the sticky substance until after an insect is captured and the struggling insect stimulates the release of the enzymes.

It would be interesting to find out.

Lots of carnivorous Sundews (Drosera) in Alaska, near muskeg bogs with acidic soil. They reduce the mosquito population by a small amount, but not enough to notice.

I live in Georgia. I stay away from Kudzu because I have suspicions about that plant.
