Hello!

My Sarracenia Purpurea has not been forming its pitchers properly and I don't know what is causing this. The rest of the pitcher are fine except for the top.

I've had sarr and nep pitchers do that if damaged when just forming. The next pitchers should be ok. If not, it may be some sort of pest.

@Nepenthes0260,

I just noticed these things on one of the pitchers. I thought it might've been just some debris or dust but it looks like a grouping of some kind of pest. What do you think?
