Thanks- i’ll try again

I have a pink Justicia too, a fabulous plant. I also have an orange one that is even less fussy. Waiting on a golden- yellow one to bloom

Do you have local friends that are hunters? Maybe you can borrow a trail camera

Jim 🇺🇦 @pom137.bsky.social · 7d

Less than $50, otherwise it looks like you will have an ongoing problem

Jim 🇺🇦 @pom137.bsky.social · 7d

I would suggest a trail camera. Not an electronics guru , but dont they have them that transmit to your cell phone?

Jim 🇺🇦 @pom137.bsky.social · 7d

It could be. Mine is nothing but sand and whatever I add to it.

Jim 🇺🇦 @pom137.bsky.social · 7d

I’ll have to try that!

Jim 🇺🇦 @pom137.bsky.social · 7d

I have them, but still haven’t figured out the secret to keeping them happy

Look at antennae to tell apart. Probably not 100 %, but it’s a start
