Insects…no one can you scream

Thank you much for sharing. 1.75in is unbelievable. I have two Jaws Smileys from two different dealers and they are stubborn. Currently each has only 4 traps, and I don't believe they've ever produced more than that at any one time. I can't imagine the thought of stressing them by repotting them in moss. Maybe a few years from now.

Jaws Smiley is definitely a weaker grower than Alien, but mine got quite large this year in the moss too. It had a bad setback a few months ago when it nearly rotted (went away for a while and let someone else water). But it's traps were fairly large and it had perhaps 8 or so too. Both Alien and Jaws Smiley seem to really enjoy the New Zealand LFS.
