Meat Eaters

The flies have only just started to annoy us again here in Launceston, as the weather is slowly starting to warm up. Yesterday I went into the back room, where all of my plants are, and one of the big traps where closed on my fly trap. On closer inspection I realised there was a massive fly in there, it's the biggest my trappy has ever caught. He has grow heaps since last year, and now he has caught the first fly of this season, woot!

I love carnivorous plants, I would love to acquire a Pitfall trap like a pitcher plant. Or a Flypaper Trap like a Sundew or a butterwort. They seem so much more sinister than the fly trap which hides it's prey while it eats it.

I'm certainly a weird one, that for sure ;-) So can anyone spot the leg of the fly in my trap?
