Hey everyone,

I noticed these little black dots on the underside of my Nepenthes' leaves. Are they pests? If they are, how should I treat them?

A closer picture would help... Even a picture using microscope.

Sometimes black dots are form the nectar glands making nectar, and then a mold growing there due to humidity and other optimum conditions.
