Head-biter
I was delighted to see that the description of this species was not exaggerated - I really did see it grab a fruit fly by the head! Delightful little flytrap, I'm looking forward to seeing it prosper in my house.

GREAT!!!
The plant arrived in great shape, survived a very long trip to Europe ( took it better than I did ) and is currently thriving outside...eating flies like there is no tomorrow. Doesn't need a lot of care just a sunny spot and rain water. I am very happy with my purchase!

Survived being ripped apart by a puppy!
My flytraps showed up in good conditions, there were a few rossettes of traps, however my dog ate them soon after they arrived. I plan to get more after setting up a puppy proof growing station. Edit: I left the remains of the plant in the pot inside a container with some water after collecting what my dog ate, and it grew back! I now have three small healthy plants only two months or so after I thought it'd been killed! I'm very impressed at how hardy this plant is and happy that my dente survived. I love the teeth of this cultivar.
