Hi guys, just wanna know if my fly trap at bout the age of a year old, Are they suppose to catch flies or something is wrong as I see flies in their mouth where by I put them in door at night only when there's sunlight I will put them at my window. So is it suppose to be them catching the flies or some insect is eating them off?

Well what does VFT stand for? Venus flytrap. It's literally in their middle name :lol:

Of course they're supposed to catch flies! Or ants, mine mostly catches ants.

They're never too young! As long as the traps work, it can catch flies! Think of it as a child, it can already reach into the fridge or counter to get chocolate at 3-4 years of age.
