I pulled it out with some tweezers and it flew away. I couldn't watch the poor hornet struggling anymore. That plant definitely had a good grip on it. I feed it small grasshoppers and its strange, but it rejects common flys I put in its grabbers in around ten minutes after it clamps down on them it opens up and they fall out. The little grasshoppers I feed it stay sealed inside for maybe a week or more and then it opens up leaving a flattened out dry exoskeleton of what was a baby grasshopper. I believe the grasshoppers have been very beneficial to its health.

I've never seen one in the wild but I know people have found them in N. Florida.

I bought this one pretty cheap at Walmart. I believe its a greenhouse grown hybrid plant and not a natural plant. I got it to show the grandson something unique in the world of plants. This one is really thriving compared to others my kids had. Maybe moving it out of the little clear plastic container it came in helped it out. Watering can only be done with rainwater or distilled water and I keep roots submerged in distilled water all the time. It even grew blossoms one time which I posted.

From what I have known growing up and also have read, Venus Flytraps are native only to North and South Carolina.
