The Venus flytrap (also referred to as Venus's flytrap or Venus' flytrap), Dionaea muscipula, is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids— with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces. When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap closes if a different hair is contacted within twenty seconds of the first strike. The requirement of redundant triggering in this mechanism serves as a safeguard against a waste of energy in trapping objects with no nutritional value.

The counterattack on the suite's fruit fly population commences. Our weapon: dish soap and apple cider vinegar. We caught easily 150-175 fruit flies, probably even more.
My mother flytrap at the start of spring, fully emerged from winter dormancy. A flytrap this crowded is ready for division. Other images in this album show her at the end of summer, with deep red traps. She hasn't had enough time to feed and grow to have those here.

Seit es das Lakeside gibt, versuchten die Organisaoren die Engelberger an den See zu locken. 2007 ist dies dann erstmals gelungen und das Konzert der Band blieb in bester Erinnerung. Seit jeher tun die Jollys nur das, wozu sie Lust haben und was gerade in den Terminplan passt. Umso mehr freute es das Lakeside, dass sie für eine Reprise zum 10 jaehrigen Jubilaeum zu begeistern waren. Mit ihrem einzigartigen Mix aus Ska, Polka, Folk und Rock'n'Roll brachten sie erneut das Seeufer zum Beben.
