Voracious Venus

Venus fly-trap with crane fly victim which it caught outside.

Great shot! It looks a healthy venus - I can't keep them alive, unfortunately

@monicac it's doing well. I keep mine outside in the day and don't feed it. It catches enough by itself. Use only distilled or rain water to keep it moist. Thye have other foibles but aren't difficult if you respect them.

This is a very useful guide: libguides.nybg.org

@philm666 Thanks - I think the problem might be the water, I watered with water from the tap and it is really hard
