I keep outdoors in south Florida and I get all sorts of crap. Sometimes colonies of ants try to get into my pots. I've found earth worms in pots. I always find caterpillars, those SOB"s! I have a good 30+ frogs living in 20+ setups. The frogs are great. They just lay on the substrate in little holes and eat every bug. I recently did a big trim and left all the crypt leaves in a bucket. 2 days later I went throw it out and accidentally cultured fruit flies. I took a big chunk of the decomposing plant matter and put it on a tray and put it into a setup with a bunch of crypt flowers. Fingers crossed I know fruit flies are known to pollinate crypts.

Fungus gnats are very annoying! I remember several incidents where a gnat decided it would be a good idea to fly up my nose as I was sitting on the couch.

My polygonum always seeded as well, not sure if the gnats were contributing to that or if polygonums self pollinate.
