where the VFT catches a frog! It's there in Encarta '94 and '95.
I see in '95, they have corrected the the statement in '94 that
Cephalotus follicularis has the largest traps, with a capacity
of about 1 litre (1 quart)! They have just dropped the phrase
completely, indeed the remaining sentence now seems to end
rather abruptly. Nice as Cephalotus is, they were exagerrating
its traps by a factor of maybe 1000.
