Yeah, they always do a great job catching bugs (mostly ants, which is great). For me, it’s the water, light, and temperature situation.

I assumed that they are self-sustaining because they catch insects haha. Like a terrarium. Thanks for setting the record straight for me.

I took this picture while on a field trip with my daughter. No, I didn’t buy it to keep it. Didn’t think my wife would have allowed

I have probably been responsible for the death of at least 20 of these during my lifetime. I've killed a few bonsai trees too.

I get one maybe once every two years, forgetting that they always die when in my possession. I’m also fascinated by them, but my experience personally is that they’re hard to keep alive.
