Hello all. Early this spring just as my largest and oldest VFT was
sending up a flower stalk it got warm 65%F hopeing to get more seed I
found some small woodlice "pillbugs" under a railroad tie to feed them.
Only after the plant started to die did I even think of creosote! I saved
the plant :-> by cuting off all of the traps+leaves that I had fed but
lost the flower stalk. :-( I have learned a valuable lesson with all the
work I do to give my plants pure soil and water I never considered the
purity of the insects I feed my plants. Older and hopefuly a little wiser
