Dang, I'm envious of that sundew. They used to be native to my area, but habitat loss and environment changes ran them out. We do have Purple Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia purpurea) though.

I found so many exuviae a few weeks ago. I was hoping to find one in emergence, but no luck.

Awesome pics, tyvm. How wonderful.

Seen the less spicy light green ones on this trip, check my profile for posts.

Have a little pile of molts in a bowl I kept from the ones in my yard.

Really good shit, you're keyed in.
