Regarding the mosquito larvae, I have the same problem as Earl. I
usually just change the water every two weeks or so, but am thinking of
experimenting with utrics to remedy this.

The D. Binata NZ and D Aliciae I got from the seed bank have sprouted. Any
recommendations on light intensity for the seedlings?? Still no action from
the N. Gracilis or N. Fusca.

Since I like Sarrs, I was thinking...how difficult is it to "fool" them
about the season?? I thought it would be nice to have some non-dormant
sarrs around in the wintertime. I could keep them inside over the
winter, and put them in the fridge over the summer. Can this
reorientation be done with mature plants, or is it best to do it with
seed/seedlings?? Any ideas?

Somehow, there are several annoying flies in my kitchen, and they are too
fast for me to swat. So I brought in a couple D. Capensis, and am hoping
they will do their thing by the time I get home today. I love biological
warfare!! Which brings up an interesting point: one fun thing I get to
tell people who ask me why on earth I grow cp is for the irony of it...I am
a vegetarian and eat plants but not meat, but I grow plants that eat "meat."
