And that right there is a bull North American common house fly, probably pushing 14 milligrams, trapped in the mucusy clutches of my cape sundew.

I honestly didn't think it could take down prey that chunky but clearly the plant had other plans. Good riddance too, that fly was buzzing around the bedroom last night.

SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice
  • I was reading about a woman they picked up who was culturally Palestinian but had been born in Saudi Arabia who does not grant citizenship so she is stateless. She's been in America since she was 8 and they were going to deport her to "The Israeli border" and that plan was only nixed because the Israeli air space got shut down.

    It reminds me of the RCMPs starlight tours where they'd take drunk first nations people out of town ten miles or so and drop them off. In Canada . In January .

  • My universal gnat advice: get a cape sundew, put it in a plastic tray of distilled/RO water on a sunny windowsill, finally enjoy seeing a plant covered in gnats.

    That's...pretty much it. They must be kept in non-porous pots and trays (glass or plastic), water TDS must be below 50 ppm and keep water in the tray constantly. They will even bloom with gorgeous little flowers. No fertilizer ever, just bugs.

    I can't emphasize enough a sunny spot. This window faces southwest and so it gets 8 hours of direct sun. This helps with growth and also makes the mucus shine which seems to attract the bugs.
