It's kinda boring lol. Pitchers, I just make sure they have water in them and drop the bug in. Right now, only the big guy in the back and the Absolute Unit are big enough for me to easily feed. If the other two get fed, it's small gnats that happen to fly inside. Flytraps, unless they catch gnats on their own, I just sort of drop the food in and massage the traps. This is done to trigger the hairs inside the trap and trick the trap into thinking it has live prey inside it. The buttworts just kinda sit there lol. I'll sprinkle some ground up, freeze dried blood worms on them and call it a day. The sundew are a bit different, depending on their shape. The Bird's Nest and the D. spatulata I can both sprinkle things onto. The octopus plant will be a fun one because it'll actually curl around the insect. These two won't be ready for feeding for several weeks.  My big D. filiformis filiformis is actually producing a lot of dew and has caught some sort of bug that got in.  Ripley tax.

In some exciting news, the octopus plant is already starting to get some dew. After shipping, it's not uncommon for them to take several weeks to start producing dew due to stress. This means it's getting the right amount of light/water. When it comes to Drosera, a sticky plant is a happy plant.
