Robert,

I just brought my D. adelae inside from our screened
porch since our weather is turning towards fall. There
were a number of "gnats" trapped on the leaves and the
tentacles had bent over in the immediate vicintity. A 3 mm
gnat had about 20 tentacles in contact with it, but there were
no brown areas on the leaf. Maybe it was the formic acid. Also,
do you fertilize your D. adelae? I've been using 1/4 strength
MirAcid on my other CP. Thanks.

Jeff
