Our New Pet


We were in the store tonight and got this fun little find. It's a Venus Flytrap. The boys have had hours of fun with it which I'm glad because I'm not sure how much longer it will last; It is a plant that goes in the house. My record for those things is not the greatest. They loved swatting flies and then placing them in the traps. We noticed though that the traps with the large pre-swatted flies ended up molding and dying. Hmmmm. Guess they prefer to catch their own food. :) The boys were so concerned that it would chomp someone's finger off. They soon discovered it's pretty soft and fragile; Not the vicious carnivore they thought. I'd never seen a trap in person before so I was pretty enthralled with it as well.
