I thought the S. Leucophylla was supposed to be among the best insect
cathers. Im in NJ and the pitchers have been opened for over a week and
have caught all of 1 tiny moth and maybe one or two small flying insects.
Does it take a while for the plant to strat producing nectar?
The S. Purpurea Venosa caught a spider. In Adrian Slacks book Carnivorous
Plants he says that they are decent insect catchers, but in The Savage
garder Mr. Damata says they are poor catchers.
I assume that most Sarracenia meals are fying insects, is this not true?
