    I feel sorry for the spiders - the bug goes in, gets stuck on the sticky part, the spider comes along sensing a free meal, and ends up as part of the main course.
    Life is beautiful, and also deadly to the unaware.

      No, the person who made the video doesn't actually know how to grow carnivorous plants, that's why. In a year or two, half those plants will be dead, guaranteed.

    Step 1: mute this video (the sound effects and music are atrocious)
    Step 2: Put on Larry Gold's - Night Falls (the first video when you search that)
    Step 3: Thank me later
