Yesterday, an ant infestation began in my home office/plant room. I noticed several of them crawling on my Hoyas and Nepenthes, which all produce a ton of EFN, even watched a few ants fall right into the Nepenthes pitchers! I set out some ant bait, but so far the ants are ignoring the bait and following each other into pitchers like lemmings off a cliff. Couldn't get any decently focused pics of my Ventrata pitchers but today they are BRIMMING with drowned ants and Lady Luck has caught her first one!
