Hi people
I'm from Malta and about a month ago I bought a little Venus Flytrap, we affectionately call Chomper . It is truly a joy to look at indeed.
It has now overgrown it's pot and was about to repot it a few days ago but I was afraid to do so because of what happened soon after.
Thing is it captured what I think is an Asian Hornet (or something similar). It's prey was too big and punctured the trap. It is now rotting and the leaf is getting black.
I am attaching a few photos to give you an idea of the damage.
Can anyone help please, because I am completely at a loss.
(PS if it is of interest to anyone, I also have a small video of the hornet trying to wiggle its way out of the leaf, right after the leaf got punctured.)
