<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">We want to thank everyone who has read <i>The Flytrap Snaps</i> - or supported us in other ways - and wish you a fanastic new year!</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
2012 started off excitingly for Walter, Johanna, and Sabrina when we heard <i>The Flytrap Snaps</i> had been shortlisted for the <a href="http://www.booksellers.co.nz/awards/new-zealand-post-childrens-book-awards/rising-talent-fore-among-awards-finalists#junior%20fiction">NZ Post Children's Book Awards</a>. </div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
The excitement continued throughout the year with school visits, the Storylines Festival, a shortlisting for the <a href="http://www.lianza.org.nz/awards/lianza-childrens-book-awards/2012-finalists">LIANZA Esther Glen Award</a>, inclusion on the <a href="http://www.storylines.org.nz/Awards/Notable+Books+Awards/Notable+Books+List+2012.html">Storylines Notable Books List</a> ...<br />
<br />
... and even some tentative interest from the international film industry!</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
We were also thrilled when the marvellous and highly respected Kathryn Carmody agreed to take us on as clients through her new NZ literary agency - <a href="http://www.olivebooks.co.nz/about-us/">Olive Books</a>. </div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
All of this (and more) gave us less breathing space than we needed to get our second book out before Christmas - Book 2 in The Fly Papers series - <i>The Sundew Stalks</i>.<br />
<br />
However, it's well on its way - look at the cover! And what this means is that we will bring out both Book 2 <b><i>and Book 3 </i></b>in 2013. </div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Expect more blog posts with news, views and gratitude throughout January 2013 ...</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<i>Nepenthes rigidifolia</i> is a species of giant pitcher plant that grows in a single, small area of Sumatra, Indonesia. It's so endangered that there are thought to be only two left in the wild!<br />
<br />
Twenty-four specimens have been discovered in the past, but habitat destruction has all but wiped them out.<br />

Recently the rare Devil's Tongue flower <a href="http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/5780628/Mr-Stinky-flowering-in-Wellington">bloomed at the Wellington Botanic Gardens</a>. It looks sinister, and smells like rotten flesh.<br />
<br />
Here at Hinterlands HQ we had our own stinky flower, which you can see above. Carnivorous pitcher plant flowers often smell, er, interesting, but this one was especially overpowering - filling the room with clouds of cat pee stench.<br />
<br />
Well, at least the flies liked it.<br />

When it comes to creating slippery surfaces, <i>Nepenthes</i> plants are the experts. Their pitchers are <i>super </i>slippery - all the better to send bugs sliding down inside.<br />
<br />
Recognising the <i>Nepenthes</i>' superiority in this area, scientists have copied their techniques, and made a new kind of extra-slip surface that could be used for anything from self-cleaning windows, to faster, more efficient water pipes.<br />

<br />
Don't despair. They often look that way in winter. They need the rest so they can burst back into life in spring.<br />
<br />
There are<a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Grow-a-Venus-Flytrap"> basic instructions on growing a Venus flytrap here</a>. (It was written in America though, so remember their seasons are at different times of the year from ours ... November is roughly the start of their winter; March the start of their spring.)<br />
<br />

When a bug triggers the trap, the door opens, the bug is sucked in, and the door shuts behind it, all in milliseconds.<br />
<br />
New Zealand has several native bladderwort species. <a href="http://www.nzcps.co.nz/NZCPSNativeCPs.html">More about our native carnivorous plants here.</a><br />

If it's not <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8552000/8552157.stm">acting as a toilet</a>, it's offering its services as a water bowl.

But we do have amazing native sundews.<br />
<br />
Sundews are a kind of carnivorous plant with rounded or tentacle-like leaves, covered in hairs. On those hairs are droplets of oozy, glistening, sticky stuff - sticky enough to trap insects - which the plant then slowly digests.<br />
