Bug Bat is part of the Sarracenia Bug Series that was developed by Larry Mellichamp at the University of North Carolina. This hybrid has stout copper-red traps. The speckling of light windows on the back of the traps makes them glow in the morning and evening. Pitchers feature a large, pointed hood over a gullet of a mouth. A vigorous grower that clumps readily and can get quite large in just a few seasons.

    I have always been a huge fan of the care and quality of how your plants are shipped, I order a lot of plants from a lot of nurseries and you are tops with shipping quality. The health of the plants is on that same level, I have never received a less than perfect plant from you guys. Thanks and keep it up.

    This is another great looker....as you look and admire this Sarracenia: it is hard to admire the next Sarracenia as this one does not let you leave very easy. As you study and admire it......the more you want to admire it.
