Hailey's Venus Fly Trap

I told Hailey about venus fly traps, and she wanted one so bad!  We thought about ordering them online, but the reviews weren't great.  We looked at Home Depot, and called some nurseries, but they didn't have them.  She was so bummed, until we walked into Lowes and they had them!  Haha..never thought she'd get so excited over a plant.  So, we got the plant, and it is WAY harder than you think to get it to eat a bug.  Like, seriously hard.  We did get it to eat a gnat, at least we think.  It closed on it, then opened later, and looked like the bug was not digested.  But, apparently it just leaves the skeleton, and looks like it's still intact...gross.  We also almost got it to eat a caterpillar, which was pretty disgusting. It trapped it in there and you could see it's little eyes, almost pleading with you, to help it lol.  Anyhow, it escaped, and since then we have just watering it and keeping it under an ultraviolet light.  We should probably try to give it a bug, but I'm too grossed out haha!

 Haha...we sat here for ten minutes watching it

try to trap a gnat.  Talk about cheap entertainment.
