The show you saw was not Death Trap. I saw the same show late last night while
surfing through channels. This show did show a few good shots of droseras and
vfts catching insects, but that was about it. Death Trap dedicates most of it's
program to CPs, and has captured some really amassing shots of droseras,
pitchers and vfts luring and catching insects. I have seen Death Trap several
times and everytime I pop the tape into the VCR, I get just as excited as the
first time I saw it. If this program happens to air in your area, be sure to set
up your VCR and tape it. You will hate yourself later if you don't.

I just saw a show which might be the 'Death Traps and Life Lines' which is
now famous to the list. It was an episode of Wild Discovery and featured
mainly insects trapping, hunting, and killing. There were a few brief
shots of carnivorous plants which included what looked like D. capensis,
D. aliciae, D. rotundifolia, and of course venus fly traps. Hope this
helps.
