Carnivorous Plant - Is It Overeating?
June 28, 2004 2:35 PM

Question for carnivorous plant aficionados: I have a Sundew plant (drosera adelae) that seems quite healthy. It catches a lot of fruit flies, but seems unable to actually digest them. Often, dead flies just sit on the Sundew's leaves until the fly bodies eventually mold from the humidity of the terrarium. Is the plant overeating?
