venus fly trap feedings


Question
hi, i have a question about my venus fly trap. i just got it about a few days ago and i want to ask how many bugs am i supposed to feed it a day/week/month?
i'm kind of scared, because i dont want it to die.
thank you. =]

Answer
Jaccee,

Feed it one insect and it will close around that bug then you will not be able to feed it another until it opens it's trap again. You need to be very careful to keep the plant lightly moist but not soggy and not let it dry out too much. You also need to keep the air around it humid.

I suggest that you read the following website for more information:

Good luck.
