"Gotcha, ye Toad"©

Whereby hangs a tail tale. (Toads haven't got tails)
Many moons ago we had a game of cricket, or three, Firemen Vs. Ambulance men.
One gent, who shall remain nameless, bowled out another, ditto; then proudly YELLED "Gotcha ye Toad!" which became a catch-phrase.
I had the heat on a little more than usual this a.m. I spotted a flying Beastie, bigger than a House-fly (Musca domestica, known by "us" as a midge) but smaller than a Bluebottle.
I promptly moved a pitcher plant & these two Venus Fly Traps onto the window cill.
As an aside, they're on their way into domancy for the winter, hence the reduced size.
However, it worked. I had the 2 leaves, both wide open, side by side for a colour comparison Blip, which, incidentally, got shelved in lieu of A.N.Other shot. I know it's a successful catch - I was in time to see the leaf being moved about as the wee beastie tried to escape.
