I would definitely say that my Capensis is the best hunter out of all my plants. It manages to catch all the tiny flies an gnats that sneak into the house, even if we're not aware of them being there. It even frequently catches those annoying little flies that make big breeding swarms in late fall and early spring and get in your face (which is a very disgusting experience :P), which is a very satisfying thing to see when it's stuck to your hungry plant >:) I must admit it- Sundews are my favourites!

It's probably pretty hungry since I haven't fed it since before winter (it had a lot of dead aphids on the leaves), so I'm sure it'll enjoy the snack! I've been seeing a few of these flies buzzing around my dad's squash plants too so I won't be surprised if I find a few more when I get home!

My capensis was having a feast on little gnats that were coming from nowhere. It even managed to catch a spider.
