I can't take a good picture of the bug, but I found it on a dead pitcher, is it possibly dangerous to the plant? My plants are just coming out of dormancy and will be back on the forum now!
I've included a picture but I can't focus on it. It's a small white bug.

Need a better photo, the pictures here are vary hazy looking and not focused on the bug.

I have thrown out the dead pitcher with it on and my phone wouldn't focus on it. It was slightly transparent and was around 1 cm long, if that helps at all.

Whatever it is, I'm sure its harmless, bugs are everywhere.
