It's that time of year again. Caterpillars are starting to appear. I just fed one to my Red Dragon.

Adam have you notice that plant that was fed was bigger and growing more vigorously than those you don't feed?

Yup.. but I don't have a scientific control plant. It's come out of dormancy a lot quicker than any other plants. None of the others have been fed.

Found another inch worm ( a caterpillar ) and fed it to one of the other VFTs. This one's chewing on 2 meals already.

Nice plant Adam!

I notice that one of my plant is feeding a lot more than other and its growing more vigorously then the other.

There are all planlets about the same size at the start..
