So what is my best bet? I use organic food. I have a shroom and two herbs. All day...12 hours...it has been all worms excepting one rainforest critter(which slipped in when I had a vase out and was hunting for the missing critter). Do I continue to leave this setup over night and risk even fewer visitors as nothing of interest shows? And then have the only endangered critter missed. Or do I freeze for the night and hope for a better showing tomorrow? I am conflicted and would entertain thoughts. Thanks.

It's hard to know what to do at times for sure. As i've mentioned before, it's worse when we can only have 1 plate out because there's even less chance of what we want turning up because being endangered, they are hard to get already as it is. If it were me though and i was off for awhile then i would freeze then when i thaw and can babysit,  (as i'm doing now) take out my vase and put in another plate of food then when the alert comes, take out one of the deterrents.......with me going for a "big o", i only have the one plate as really want the 2 deterrents and have my vase out and will put it in accordingly. In an ideal world, we'd have room in our gardens for all the plants, 2 deterrents, the vase and more plates of food but obviously we don't and again, with the endangered, we're up against it for them turning up anyway, let along only having 1 plate of food......Yes the WRCs are meant to be rare but the endangered are obviously even more so....

Thanks Leslie. I appreciate your input.
