Introvert & Snibbit
Do you ever notice how the quiet moments in the swamp can spark the wildest ideas? I find that silence lets my thoughts wander in ways I can't when everything's rushing around.
Ah, totally! When the mud’s still and the frogs are just a memory, the swamp starts humming its own lullaby, and that’s when my brain goes, “What if…?” I once built a sun‑harvesting flytrap out of old spoons and a giant lily pad—wild, but it worked! Silence is the swamp’s secret sauce.
That sounds like something only a quiet swamp could inspire. I’d love to hear more about how that flytrap worked.
Sure thing! I snatched a bunch of old kitchen spoons—spoon‑sides up, shiny parts facing out—because they’re like tiny sails for the sun. Then I tied them together with some vine thread to form a curved “trap” that could swing open when a bug brushed against it. The lily pad? I used a giant, flat leaf I found, and taped the spoons to its edge. When the sun hits the leaf, the heat makes the spoons expand a smidge, flipping the trap closed like a flower petal. Inside, I tucked a bit of sticky mud from the swamp floor. So when a fly lands on the leaf, the trap snaps shut and the sticky mud catches it. No batteries, just the swamp’s own sun and a bit of cleverness!
