So I've had this Venus flytrap for two months it's always been healthy and green lately on noticing the leaves are slowly turning brown even when they're new and healthy. Some of the new ones that I haven't even opened have Browning around the Trap. I dug in the soil a little bit and found these very small clear bugs. So I drown the plant in water for a few hours to see if that would help any suggestions.

Submerging the plant helped when I had pests. Only problem is if they float.

That's mite damage. Mites are the most common pest on Venus flytraps. For that reason, we offer several miticides for sale in the FlytrapStore in hobbyist quantities:
