Asian Beetles as Venus Flytrap Food: Safe or Not?

Shauna in northwestern Wisconsin finds Asian beetles invading her home and one caught in her Venus flytrap. Conflicting online advice says they may kill the plant or are fine occasionally.

Expert Verdict: Completely Safe

Jacob Farin states Asian beetles pose no threat once captured. They're actually beneficial insects that eat aphids and other pests. The beetle in the trap will not harm the plant.

Good Growing!
