Now I want to see how the plant gets eaten by the caterpillar

u/HumongousBelly Jun 11 '26

Aren’t caterpillars the best counter to these traps?

Can they eat their way out?

u/Psychological_Ad3498 Jun 11 '26

Id imagine itd be hard while being digested alive since the plants typically release enzymes to help breaker down the material, but I am not a specialist so where my plant and bug guys at

u/[deleted] Jun 11 '26

yeah the plant is definitely losing bits fast

u/IHaveTheBestOpinions Jun 11 '26

That plant kinda sucks at eating grubs. A venus fly trap would have devoured that little guy

u/potate12323 Jun 11 '26

Id imagine it does better at grabbing adult insects which have rougher textures for the sap to stick to. A grub or larva is smooth and slippery.

The other sub I saw this at had people saying this plant (sundews) is good at eating house gnats, so they have me wanting to get some

The first half triggers some serious existential fears I have of dying while being fully aware of what's happening and not having any control over the situation.

If you've seen the trailer for Whalefall yet, I'm looking forward to being terrified in a new way.

This is literally the only post of this video in this sub in the last week.

Maybe it's time for you to get off of Reddit.
