| did you check if your Vft had a bug in its trap? ants usually do that when a flytrap digests a big bug for its trap. since the remaining part of a bug would be too big to digest, ants take advantage and infect the container with the bug remainings. everytime this happens, i see no harm to it. ants just like devouring on left overs that venus' flytraps leave behind. you shouldn't worry at all. |
