Spoon-leaved Sundew (Drosera spatulata) Feasting on Ochlerotatus japonicus

Hope the plant finds this mosquito to be tasty. I could have rescued it, perhaps, but didn't.

Habitat: This is a houseplant

  Thanks! There were so many mosquitoes and gnats out a couple nights ago that some sneaked inside. I'm sure this mosquito regrets that. Posted 5 years ago
