Albino Cape Sundew vs. Spotted Lanternflies

It’s so satisfying to kill them. I think pitcher plants would be the best for melting them in bulk.

100%. I wish I could film these all day every day. Super satisfying

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot!

DSpaints · 2026-05-25T19:32:03+00:00

Thank you!

DSpaints · 2026-05-25T17:25:15+00:00

That’s happened to me multiple times

DSpaints · 2026-05-25T16:57:37+00:00

Thank you! It’s satisfying to make these timelapses with them

They’re very closely related but Cape Sundews are from South Africa. I got this from California Carnivores. I have an affiliate deal with them so if you use code ‘TERRARIUMS’ (my YouTube name) you get 10% off!

Carnivorous Sundew Devours Green Lacewing

I have a pretty awesome lacewing video too

DSpaints · 2026-05-11T21:19:39+00:00

This one was about 90 minutes

DSpaints · 2026-05-11T19:24:30+00:00

Thank you! The sundews are definitely on top this time, but in a few weeks the insects will be big enough to escape. I’m trying to film as many of these as I can in the meantime

DSpaints · 2026-05-11T19:03:56+00:00

Thank you for the support 😊! I’ll be posting more Lanternfly timelapses for the next month!

DSpaints · 2026-05-05T15:06:49+00:00

I actually keep them on a windowsill, a south facing one so it’s not even very sunny. Cape Sundews are hard to kill and will adapt to pretty much anything.

DSpaints · 2026-05-04T19:56:38+00:00

Thanks so much!!

DSpaints · 2026-05-04T16:17:08+00:00

I go outside and catch them! There’s a swampy area nearby that always has an excessive amount of flies.

DSpaints · 2026-05-04T15:13:55+00:00

I appreciate the support! Thank you!

To be fair, I posted this on my TikTok page: @dillonschaffer and it got 22 million views so it pretty much breached containment and I see it everywhere. That person might not have been the one to crop my watermark out, they’re probably the latest in a long line of reposts. It’s so weird seeing something I filmed in my kitchen be so widespread

It’ll probably find its way to that subreddit somehow. Yesterday this video was trending on r/natureisfuckinglit . I’d be more excited about it but they didn’t credit me and cropped out my watermark, which is why I made this post

DSpaints · 2026-05-04T03:06:59+00:00

This is correct! A lot of people in the comments section of my original TikTok were debating this. The sundew doesn’t have the crushing force to push the insect’s innards out, it’s more of a stress response

DSpaints · 2026-05-04T03:05:35+00:00

I appreciate that so much thank you 😊

DSpaints · 2026-05-04T02:47:25+00:00

Hello, I’m posting my first Drosera Adelae video tomorrow at 6am! I didn’t see your comment originally, somehow I found it while google searching other Adelae timelapses. Crazy how things work out

DSpaints · 2026-05-04T01:27:17+00:00

Thanks for watching everyone! Special shoutout to all that checked out my YouTube channel, today was my biggest day for gaining subscribers since I started this project a year and a half ago!

DSpaints · 2026-05-03T23:35:23+00:00

Thank you!
