| Hi, I noticed that one of the new leaves one of my picther plants put up has a hole in it. I assume some bug did this...what kind of bug, if anyone knows?
Thanks! |

| Whenever mine have holes in them, it's the older pitcher in which a wasp or yellowjacket has gotten stuck in. They then chew their way out the side leaving a small (usually a bit ragged) hole in the side. |

| Yep I agree with a wasp story. Smart little boogers! |
