Greetings,

Just wanted to add to the anecdotes about wasps and Sarracenia plants. This
weekend I was working in and out of the greenhouse, and noticed a few wasps
flying around. Next morning I looked at my Sarr. minor, and one of the
pitchers (about 12 inches tall) looked a bit bent over. It now has a hole
about 2 cm in diameter in the side of it where a wasp was trapped and chewed
its way out of the plant! Sometimes they bite back.
