So I've been feeding my gigaflora and vulgaris butterworts some worms because they haven't caught anything in a while. I found a slug and some eggs in my garden. I fed the eggs to my sundews and butterworts. I also killed the slug and put it on one of the butterworts for revenge for eating an orchid. The butterwort leaf was digesting it for a couple of days then died. Is this normal or are slugs the ultimate carnivorous plant predator and even their body's are an anathema to the plants?
