Surprise overnight freezing temp so now what?
On April 20th, 2026, there was a sudden overnight freeze that I did not anticipate. I am in zone 6b. I hadn't realized there was an overnight freeze until I woke up to check up on them and saw that some of the water collected by the rain had frozen over. I didn't have the time to put them inside since I had work immediately right after the discovery, so I allowed them to stay outside for the weather to slowly get warmer. Eventually in the evening, I put them inside and refilled their water trays.
These images were taken on April 22nd, 2026.
One of the traps that caught an insect before the freeze was opening up again. Another different trap responded to its hairs being disturbed when I tried feeding it a mealworm; though it closed slowly.
I have not repotted most of them for fear of stressing them out, however, I would hope they are hardy enough to survive through one random frosty weather after being released from dormancy for about two months. I would be so devastated if I lose all of them all because of a mistake.
