  Maybe they can help you on your balcony!

  I don’t think so, because there are so many that are attracted by other things, such as honeydew.

  But I have a Sarracenia out there!

  It wasn’t really happy until now, but once it acclimatises, it might catch a few ants and maybe wasps?

  My nepenthes is indoor only, because I’m afraid I might introduce pests to my other houseplants when I have to bring it indoors over winter.

  That’s amazing. Did the buggy get there on its own or did you help?

  I had to help a bit 🙃
  I put the bug onto the plant itself, but it crawled in there on its own.

  My neps are still learning to walk. They’ve been fed synthetic fertiliser up until now, and they yet have to develop their hunting instincts :D
