That's a bee trapped in there. I watched it crawl inside. I think it's done for. #carnivorousplant #bee #macro @carnivorousplants@lemmy.world
Pitcher
My pitcher plant is doing surprisingly well. Nice and veiny.
Venus flytrap flowers [OC]
My Venus flytrap has sprouted a long stem with some pretty little flowers at the end. The purpose of the long stem is to help keep pollinators away from the traps.
I guess this trap caught a bug that was a little too big again.
It's the second time that an ulcer has formed on one of this plant's traps after it caught a bug that was a little on the big side. I saw a TikTok video explaining that sometimes the trap will survive and it will just have a hole in the side, but I'm not holding out any hope for that. The last one just died. Fortunately,the rest of the plant seems healthy.
Who else's got a wet trunk?
I think my sunroof drains might have been clogged. Any suggestions as to the best way to dry it out?
Cicada killer wasps
I think they're both males, because the females are bigger. The males technically can't sting (and the females only do if you're really asking for it), but it's still scary to get up close to one.
