Okay, so I don't normally play with toys anymore, but I just couldn't pass this one up! It was being sold as a dollhouse accessory for when you're doing a Halloween or haunted house type theme. (I had to paint its "tongue" by hand to make it more accurate.)

Awesome!

I would of gotten that too, It looks really cool!

That is cool! I need one of those for my room.

Looks better than before,will look awesome if you attach some hairs(I don't know what those hair like projection are called) too!
At present it looks like coquillage.

You should make a little bug or maybe a bee .And to make it more cartoonish you could make the bug look scared

Yeah, I thought about doing that, but I haven't quite figured out what to use for it yet. Since it's a dollhouse accessory, it's much smaller than it looks in the pictures. The whole thing is only about two inches tall and the "mouth" part is only 5/16" across, so each cilia would only need to be about the size of a human hair! Even if I used something like bristles from a paintbrush, I'd have to use tweezers to position them and I'd probably screw the whole thing up trying to glue so many in place.

Oh no, you're giving me flashbacks to my *last* project, from a couple years ago...!

I thought it would be quite large (as much as sarracenia).
Where can I find your growlist(with images)?

Sorry, I've never taken the time to write up a grow list. There's nothing really unusual or spectacular about my collection, so I never thought anyone would care. I lost a lot of my plants to mold last summer from too much rain, so I'm certainly no expert yet!

Well, it finally dawned on me why this thing has always seemed so familiar. I never really noticed how similar it was until I happened to glance at one of the tags in my plants... Well, duh!

Oh man, they do look similar!

I love it! I need to make myself one of those for my desk....

Just remember; lots of sunlight and rain/distilled water!

No, no!!! Sunlight would make the paint fade and rain will wash it right off!
