Catherine has been taking good care of the Venus Flytrap she got for Christmas.  Up until recently, it has been dormant in the garage, but it has now responded to the approach of Spring.  She went out to catch flies for it yesterday, and here is the result:

Oh wow....cool. You have flies already? I dread them. I'll send you all mine to "Feed me Seymour" Did she name the plant yet?  Reminds me of Little Shop of Horrors with Steve Martin and Rick Moranis.  Thanks Paul & Catherine.

I don't think I ever came across a stinkbug, if I did, I didn't know it.

I don't squash them, and have given up taking the occasional individual outside.  I just keep a Pringles can by my computer, and whenever one wanders past, in it goes  :devil:

Funny you mention Stinkbugs, Carol.  My friend out your way in Walkersville got home from Florida and was going off about the stinkbugs that roamed into the house over the winter.  I think it has to do with your side of the Beltway  ;)

Very cool gift!  :clap: I always wanted one, but the timing never worked out.  We'll need updates on Dragon and Catherine.
