Day 177--Audrey




I've wanted a Venus Fly Trap for as long as I can remember. I used to ask grandpa all the time if he'd got one for me. Why it was his job, I don't know. The desire was renewed earlier this year, and I poked around a bit, but couldn't seem to find anyone who sold them.

Ah, but you can get them at MoBot. So now I have one. And it's pretty cool. What you can't tell here is that I just dropped a small bug in her mouth. Interestingly, there was no reaction. Inside the mouth, however, are some small....hair-like things. I gave one of those a nudge, and the mouth closed up pretty quick. So live bugs, I'm sure, are caught in a pinch.
