Not too long ago, I was tending to the flytraps when I saw tiny, black dots meandering on the LFSM in one of the pots. I wondered what this could possibly be and whipped out the jeweler's loupe, and this is what I see!

I'm not sure what they are eating in the first picture, but they sure liked it! After some digging, I found out they are Sminthurinus quadrimaculatus forma bimaculatus (whew, that's a mouthful!)
Surprised I managed to get pictures of them with my phone. It makes me want to get a better mechanism to look at them with, they're very cute!
