[QUOTE="Mantisking03, post: 326164, member: 10526"] If the fly is to big and if its dead this happens. Feed something only a quarter of the size of the trap, and as said above they need the hairs to be triggered. Gently pinching the trap shut frequently for about 50 times will make it close completely to the point where it thinks it has killed an insect and can start digesting it. It will open after 2 days or so and it will still have the bug in its mouth, however it will only be the shell of it. All the liquids from it will be absorbed into the plant. :) [/QUOTE]
