So, I'm sure you all were totally worried about this, but Jus and I got our very first Venus Fly Trap. I have always wanted one (they look like they're from Little Shop of Horrors) and I just thought they'd be cool to watch. I named the two taller ones Seymour and Audrey, but I haven't named the 8 or so little ones - they're harder to tell apart. There is another one of the smaller ones that is sprouting quite quickly. I am thinking of calling it Dr. Scrivello, DDS (I know - what a nerd).
After the first several days, we realized that we didn't really have any flies or anything in the house for them to feed on. So we decided to start placing them out on the table on the deck and still... nothing.
Well, for our fantastic announcement: Seymour finally got one! Well, actually Justin caught the bug and placed it in for Seymour. The only problem was Jus was holding the dish so I totally couldn't see it when Seymour got his prey. Apparently, however, it was pretty cool because Seymour clamped down on the bug and my tweezers that Jus was holding it with. Okay, it's not so much a "clamp" but it does close down pretty quickly.
I ask you... seriously... how cool is that?
