<< Out of curiosity, I dissected one pitcher and found it completely devoid

I've grown this plant for quite some time and have made some similar
observations. Mine however, have on occasion caught yellow jackets (was
dissecting a leaf with some kids one time and a queen emerged causing quite a
stir!) and numerous small insects. It never catches very many.

Nonetheless it is a beautiful hybrid, a bit slow growing but worth having a
few. You could probably speed growth slightly with a light foliar
fertilizing.
